Rosenberg challenges the modernist orthodoxy that rejects all of Victorian poetry as a Wate Land and ignores the overriding importance of Tennyson to the development of Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and the symbolists. He shows that in the Idylls Tennyson created a new genre whose true originality critism has been slow to percieve." -- Back cover. || Historiography. Essays. History.
