The Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson : In Memoriam A.H.H.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson(1809-1892) The Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom after William Wordsworth and one of the most popular English poets in literature.. In Memoriam A.H.H. is a poem by the English poet Alfred, Lord TennysonThe original title of the poem was "The Way of the Soul", and this might give an idea of how the poem is an account of all Tennyson's thoughts and feelings as he copes with his grief over such a long period - including wrestling with the big philosophico-scientific questions of his day. It is perhaps because of this that the poem is still popular with and of interest to modern readers. Owing to its length and its arguable breadth of focus, the poem might not be thought an elegy or a dirge in the strictest formal sense.
