Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to John Kenyon, 15 May 1842:
'I ought to be thanking you for your great kindness about this divine Tennyson [...] But notwithstanding the poetry of the novelties -- & you will observe that his two preceding volumes (only one of which I had seen before .. having enquired for the other vainly) are included in these two, -- nothing appears to me quite equal to Oenone [...] That is not said in disparagement of the last, but in admiration of the first. There is in fact more thought, more bare brave working of the intellect in the later poems, even if we miss some of the high ideality, & the music that goes with it, of the older ones.' |
