Sons book entitled THE Mind of
Tennyson; His Thoughts on God Free

the book is Tennyson's philosophy, and
the examination of the poets beliefs

spirit of the age. The author considers
the subject under four main divisions:

out Tennyson's interest in problems of
philosophy, and studies his examination
of these problems in the light of the
spirit of the age.
The second chapter deals with God, |
and in it Tennyson studies the prob |
lem especially in it's relations to the
objectians of agnosticism, materialism
and paptheism and constructs philos- |
ophy Of his own.
The subject of the third chapter is
Freedom, or Free Will" This prob
lem is considered from the standpoint
of modern scientific and philosophical
thought. as bearing on the question.
The fourth chapter deals with the
evolution or development of Tennyson's
thought on the subject of immortality. |
