Abstract

Discusses the literary precedents, manuscripts, composition, and biographical context for Tennyson's poem "To the Queen," first published in Match 1851, and argues that Tennyson's attitudes toward Queen Victoria and to his role as Poet Laureate were more nuanced and more conflicted than most critics have recognized.
