Summary "Tennyson's Life and Poetry: And Mistakes Concerning Tennyson" by Eugene Parsons is a biographical study written in the late 19th century. This book explores the life and works of the eminent poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, surveying both his biographical narrative and the common misconceptions that have arisen surrounding his life. It aims to provide readers with an accurate understanding of Tennyson's contributions to literature while correcting various inaccuracies that have proliferated in other biographical accounts. The book is divided into two main sections: the first part details Tennyson's life, from his early years in Lincolnshire to his eventual rise as Poet Laureate, emphasizing the influences that shaped his poetic voice and the personal experiences that informed his writing. The second section addresses specific mistakes found in contemporary biographical writings about Tennyson, such as inaccuracies in his birth date, family background, and literary achievements. By meticulously correcting these errors, Parsons seeks to clarify Tennyson’s legacy and provide a more precise and respectful portrait of one of England's most celebrated poets.
