Tennyson's Poems

The Poetical Works of Alfred Tennyson [1809 - 1892], complete in one volume. (Boston: Ticknor and Fields. 1856.) [518 pp.]

Wondering how the publisher could publish the poet's "complete" poetical works 36 years before his death, led us to the University of South Carolina's Rare Books and Special Collections website. We won't spoil the ending, but curious readers may wish to click here for an interesting sidebar. Note the fine enameled end papers.
