The best edition of Tennyson is the Eversley in six volumes,
published by the Macmillans and edited by his son Hallam,
which contains a mass of notes left by the poet and many
explanations of peculiar words and metaphors which the father
gave to the son in discussing his work. This edition also
gives the changes made by the poet in his constant revision of
his works, some of which were not improvements.
A mass of critical commentary and reminiscence has been
published on Tennyson and his poetical work. Among the best of
these volumes are _Tennyson, Ruskin and Mill_, by Frederic
Harrison; _Tennyson and His Friends_, by Mrs. Richmond
Ritchie; _The Homes and Haunts of Tennyson_, by Napier;
_Tennyson, His Art and Relation to Modern Life_, by Stopford
A. Brooke; _The Poetry of Tennyson_, by Henry Van Dyke; the
chapter on Tennyson in Stedman's _Victorian Poets_; a
commentary on Tennyson's _In Memoriam_ by Prof. A.C. Bradley;
_Alfred Tennyson_, by Andrew Lang; _Views and Reviews_, by
W.E. Henley; _Yesterdays With Authors_, by J.T. Fields; _The
Victorian Age_, by Mrs. Oliphant. Dr. Henry Van Dyke
contributed five articles on Tennyson to SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE,
volume 6.
