This book examines how Tennyson's career was mediated, organised and directed by the
publishing industry. Founded on neglected archival material, it examines the scale
and distribution of Tennyson's book sales in Britain and America, the commercial logic
of publishing poetry, and how illustrated gift books and visual culture both promoted
and interrogated the Poet Laureate and his life. Major publishers had become disillusioned
with poetry by the time that Edward Moxon founded his business in 1830 but by the
mid-1860s, his firm presided over a resurgence in poetry based on Tennyson's work.
Moxon not only orchestrated Tennyson's rise to fame but was a major influence on how
the Victorian public experienced the poetry of the Romantic period. This study reevaluates
his crucial role, and examines how he repackaged poetry for the Victorian public
