"A. A. Markley examines Tennyson's objectives in developing the classical dramatic monologue, which, together with In Memoriam and his experiments with classical meters, indicate the degree to which he patterned himself after the Roman poet Virgil in attempting to provide modern Britain with a literature worthy of a new and rapidly expanding world empire. Stateliest Measures demonstrates that Tennyson's engagement with the long-running and complex nineteenth-century debates concerning Hellenism, Imperialism, and modern British culture was much more profound than previously recognized."--Jacket 606 $aClassicism$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aClassical literature$xAppreciation$zEngland 606 $aEnglish poetry$xClassical influences 606 $aMythology, Classical, in literature 607 $aGreece$xIn literature 607 $aRome$xIn literature 608 $aLiterature. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClassicism$xHistory 615 0$aClassical literature$xAppreciation 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xClassical influences. 615 0$aMythology, Classical, in literature. 676 $a821.8 700 $aMarkley$b A.
