Alfred Lord Tennyson was born in 1809 and died in 1892. He is one of the most outstanding of the Victorian poets.His skill is particularly noted with regard to his use of rhythm and rhyme. A good deal of the poems which are enjoyed today, written in his early and early middle periods- among the volumes of 1830, 1832,and 1842. Looking through these poems one notices the influence of Keats. "Mariana" is one such poem. Tennyson also noted for his ability to create atmosphere and landscape. " The Dying Swan" invokes a unique world of the imagination. Tennyson is also remembered for his historical poems set in medieval England. E.g. " Morted' Arthur" recreates the legend of King Arthur.His poem " Charge of the Light Brigade " is based on a real incident during the Crimean war of 1853-1856, when Britain together with France and Turkey fought against Russia. It was fought on Russian territory and so the Russians were at an advantage. Tennyson has praise for the men who fought in this battle.
