Summary "A Key to Lord Tennyson's 'In Memoriam'" by Alfred Gatty is a literary analysis and commentary written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a guide to understanding Alfred Lord Tennyson's deeply personal poem, "In Memoriam," which reflects on love, loss, and the nature of grief following the death of Tennyson's close friend, Arthur Hallam. Gatty, drawing from his own experiences, provides insights into the poems and themes presented by Tennyson, aiding readers in their comprehension of the emotional depth and philosophical reflections embedded in Tennyson's elegy. The opening of the text introduces listeners to Gatty's personal connection to "In Memoriam," relating his own experiences of loss and remembrance that resonate with Tennyson's themes. He reflects on the rich history of Tennyson’s life, including his friendships and interactions with Hallam, illustrating how these relationships influenced the writing of "In Memoriam." Gatty details his visit to key locations related to Tennyson's life and poetry, such as Somersby and Clevedon, instilling a sense of place that complements his analysis. This introduction establishes a foundation for understanding how grief and memory play crucial roles in both Tennyson's work and Gatty's examination, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the elegy’s themes throughout the rest of the book.
