Presents a study of Tennyson's record of publication in Victorian periodicals. Despite Tennyson's supposed hostility to periodicals, this book shows that he made a career-long habit of contributing to them and in the process revealed not only his willingness to promote his career but also his status as a highly valued commodity. Winner of the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals' 2007 Robert Colby Book Prize '... sheds new light on the mechanics of literary celebrity in the nineteenth century. ...That so many rich new areas of study are suggested by this book testifies to its wide-ranging and engaging research, and its several appendices will be of great use to future bibliographers and scholars.' Times Literary Supplement 'What is accomplished here is well edited, accompanied by three useful appendices, and generously illustrated... this study deserves praise for its accuracy in dealing with a literary career spanning two-thirds of a century.'
