Abstract
It was not until 1875, after Tennyson had attained fame as a lyric poet, that he began to publish dramas. In the Memoir by his son1 is found the statement that he wrote dramas as a boy of fourteen. Considerable Interest in things dramatic may be seen in a number of his poems. He enjoyed searching into causes and effects of historical and social movements, His own words may be quoted very aptly as expressing his purpose in writing historical drama. "This triology(sic) of plays portrays the making of England."
