"By 1850, Alfred Tennyson was not merely the Poet Laureate, a commercially successful
and critically acclaimed author, he was one of Britain's leading celebrities. Offering
new analysis of the workings of Victorian celebrity, this volume explores the ever-expanding
compass of Tennyson's fame and the efforts of the poet and others to control this
phenomenon. It shows that Tennyson's retreat from mainland publicity to the secluded
Isle of Wight and his limiting of his social circle to that of family and like-minded
guests, only increased the demand of fans and tourists for access to the poet. Through
an analysis of poetry, paintings, photography, illustrations, memoirs, reminiscences,
diaries, letters, and newspaper and periodical articles, this book shows that Tennyson's
fashioning of his reluctant celebrity affected not only his own life and works, but
also had an effect on his celebrity and non-celebrity friends, and on the (self-)construction
of his fans. "
