Sinopsis
Excerpt from Selections From Tennyson: Edited With Notes
The selection of the poems in this book is the only part of it for which the editor is not responsible. Some of the poems seem to us admirably suited to their purpose of conveying to a beginner an adequate general idea of the work of Tennyson, but it does not seem certain that the real purpose of such selections. Has been constantly kept in view in the choosing.
There are usually two faults found with a hand-book of this kind; one is that the notes are too scanty, the other that they are too full. Those who reflect on the wide constituency for which these books are prepared will, of course, be very slow to pass any general verdict on this question. The present writer has kept in view the various schools from north to south, and east to west, of which he has had knowledge, as well as that large number of candidates who annually appear not attached to any school but self-prepared, and has endeavoured to divide their labour with all who need assistance.
The sole object of this book isito furnish young students in Ontario and Manitoba such an introduction to Tennyson will - make them earnest readers of that poet for life. In no instance has the desire to prepare students for certain examinations been permitted to degrade the tone of the work the triumph of the teacher of literature is to make many earnest readers of good books, not to pass many candidates yet it so happens that as a rule if he strives for the first reward the second is added.

Excerpt from Selections From Tennyson: Edited With Notes
"But my delight in going over Homer and Virgil with the boys makes me think what a treat it must be to teach Shakespeare to a good class of young Greeks in regenerate Athens; to dwell upon line by line, and word by word, in the way that nothing but a translation lesson ever will enable one to do; and so to get all his pictures and thoughts leisurely into his mind, till I verily think one would after a time give out light in the dark, after having been steeped as it were in such an atmosphere of brilliance. And how could this ever be done without having the process of construing, as the grosser medium through which alone all the beauty can be transmitted, because else we travel loo fast, and more than half of it escapes us."
