Reviews

Reviews of the original publication: “Mr. Kilham agrees that Tennyson’s poetry deserves and can hold a twentieth century audience. Mr. Kilham’s book is a collection of essays, most of which have been previously published in periodicals, by over a dozen of Tennyson’s recent and sympathetic critics. In the survey of recent criticism with which he prefaces his collection, Mr. Killham argues for yet more sympathy, asking critics to record not just the historical and psychological interest but also the pleasure they find in Tennyson, and reminding them of Wordsworth’s remark that if even one of a poet’s works pleases us, we should return with new expectation to what has before displeased.’’ D. J. G., Victorian Studies, Vol. 4, No. 3 (Mar. 1961),
