O knihe

Excerpt from Tennyson's Queen Mary: A Criticism

Having noticed the coincidence of effect in the two works we have mentioned, we now proceed to the task which we have set ourselves, which is to examine the drama of Queen Mary Not only do we think Mr. Tennyson has made an unhappy selection in trying to make a heroic subject of the English Mary; but we think he would have shown more judgment if he had made no attempt to write a drama at all. Perhaps in thus offending the poet is less to blame than his critics. We do not believe Mr. Tennyson is more above the in¿uence of opinion than the majority of men. It is difficult for a popular writer to preserve himself from it. And it is not surprising that in an evil hour he should yield to it. When the Northern Farmer appeared it was considered, making all allowance for the scope it traverses, second to nothing which up to that time its author had written. Nay.
