- Positioning Tennyson’s engagement with geology at the heart of the mid-nineteenth century’s epistemological crisis, this interdisciplinary monograph addresses, in addition to incorporating over one hundred and fifty years of scholarship and commentary on Tennyson’s poetry, the history of geology and theories of geological change, evolutionary theory and early experiments in comparative anatomy, as well as theories of the origins and development of language. The book is the product of ten years of research undertaken at the Tennyson Research Centre, Lincolnshire, Cambridge Trinity College Archives, National Geological Society Archives at Burlington House, London and Isle of Wight Records Office.
