Tennyson And His Friends

1911. The Preface reads: To those who have contributed to this volume their memories of my father, criticisms of his work, or records of his friends, I owe a deep debt of gratitude. Three of the writers, Henry Butcher, Sir Alfred Lyall, and Graham Dakyns, have lately, to my great loss, passed away-into that fuller light of friendship-a clearer day Than our poor twilight dawn on earth. The following chapters about my father are arranged, as far as possible, according to the sequence of his life.
