Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"In Memoriam A.H.H." by Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson is an elegy published in 1850. Written over seventeen years following the sudden death of his Cambridge friend Arthur Henry Hallam in 1833, this 133-canto poem explores profound grief while grappling with Victorian-era tensions between emerging materialist science and declining Christian faith. Through its distinctive four-line stanzas, Tennyson contemplates mortality, nature's apparent cruelty, and the struggle between doubt and hope, ultimately creating a work that transcends personal loss to address universal questions about existence and belief.
