Description

In 1881 Messrs. Macniven & Wallace published 'Alfred Tennyson : His Life and Works,' by Walter E. Wace. Under this pseudonym Nicoll brought together 'by far the fullest collection of personal facts regarding Mr. Tennyson and his works' that had hitherto been published. The facts were gathered with great labour from many sources, public and private, and included the results of a visit paid to Horncastle and Somersby to glean local memories and traditions of the poet and his family. One chapter traces parallels between Tennyson and earlier authors, and the volume concludes with a bibliography. Nicoll records that the book 'had the high compliment of being referred to by Francis Turner Palgrave in [his article on Tennyson in] Chambers's Encyclopaedia [1892]. That is enough to show that Tennyson was pleased with it.' - William Robertson Nicoll: Life and Letters / Thomas Herbert Darlow.
