A Note on the Text -- Preface -- Introduction: The Enigma of Englishness -- 1. 'A Poet in the Truest and Highest Sense': The Early Poems and their Reception -- 2. 'Mr. Tennyson's Singular Genius': The Reception of Poems (1832) -- 3. 'Mr. Tennyson's Truly English Spirit': Landscape and Nature in Poems (1842) -- 4. 'Fair Victoria's Golden Age': Tennyson and Monarchy -- 5. 'To Serve as Model for the Mighty World': Tennyson and Medievalism -- 6. 'Ever-broadening England': Tennyson and Empire -- Conclusion: Fabricating Englishness.

Both Tennyson and the term 'Englishness' - coined in 1804 - date from the same decade and critics identified Tennyson as an English poet from the first reviews of his published poems in the 1820s. As Poet Laureate, Tennyson became the authoritative public voice of English poetry and one of the 'thinking men of England'. By the late nineteenth century, an ideology of Englishness had been established which was reflected in and shaped by cultural forces and emerging myths in general and Tennyson's poetry in particular. This wide-ranging study examines Tennyson's 'domestic poetry' - his portrayals of English nature and landscape, monarchy, medievalism, and the 'English Empire', written throughout his career and in their changing nineteenth-century context - to confirm that many representations of England and the English were fabrications, more idealised than real.
