Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) was a 19th century English poet. Following the death of William Wordsworth, Queen Victoria appointed Tennyson as Poet Laureate. Some of his best known works include "Tears, Idle Tears", "The Charge of the Light Brigade", and the Arthurian narrative poem cycle Idylls of the King.
