DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe poems have been collected and edited by J. Thompson, who, worthily, set himself assiduously to work to restore to literature many priceless bits of poetic lore, gathering them from odd nooks, out of old periodicals, etc. It was surely a labor of love, just as it is an act of belated justice since no line of Tennyson should be lost to fame while his name lives. The book is arranged so that the fullest light is shed on the history of each separate bit of verse, the time and continuity of each being shown, and scraps of personal data finding deft interpolation in the editor's notations. Mr. Thompson states that he believes he has succeeded in tracing every published poem not included in the collected works of Tennyson now extant, and it would seem from the sufficiency of his collection that his claim is justified by the event. There is an introductory review of Tennyson's work as a whole, and then a reprint of some sixty bits of verse, hitherto suppressed, from which we select the following titles: "Timbuctoo," "The Burial of Love," "Hero to Leander," "Lost Hope," "The Palace of Art," "Britons, and "Guard Your Own." -How to Know the Books, Volume 1 [1903]
