Author Description

Excerpt from The Spiritual Meaning of in Memoriam, an Interpretation for the Times The criticism that Tennyson was not a man Of the people is just. He lived within a narrow circle of the intellectually elect. His hostility to home rule for Ireland was an index to his undemocratic attitude. But his limitation was in a measure counterbalanced by his love for man as man. And it is note worthy that in his higher ights he tran scends all Of earth's poor distinctions and becomes the mouthpiece of humanity.
