E. D. E. n. Southworth, and was first
published in the Atlantic Monthly,
nearly thirty years ago.
NJ. RESAN left no memoirs, being as
adverse to the display of private life in
books as was Tennyson. The best of
his mind, the Frenchman used to say,
was in his books intended for publica-
ton. It was his wish that not even his
correspondence should get into print
ONLY four homes of British writers
have been preserved on account of the
associations connected with them.
They are the homes of Shakespeare,
Milton. Burns and Wordsworth, and it
is suggested that Somersby Rectory,
Tennyson's birthplace, should be added
to the number.
LORD TESNYsoN was morbidly sensi-
tive to all criticism of his work. An
unkind word in the obscurest news
paper would literally cut him to the
heart, it is said. At the same time he
was curious to hear everything said or
written about him, and he had a great
relish for fattery.
How vARIoUsLY Tennyson was re-
garded is shown in the appellations
given to him. These included: THE
Poet of Luxury THE Poet of Ro-
manticism," THE Poet of Feudahsm,"
1.-THE Poet of Idealism," 1.-THE Poet of
Languor," THE Poet of Love-" 1.-THE
Poet of the Aristocracy" and 1.-THE Poet
