Tennyson's ascendency as England's foremost poet coincided with one of the most significant inventions of the nineteenth century: photography. As Poet Laureate, Tennyson (and those in his circle) was portrayed by such pioneering spirits as Julia Margaret Cameron. Lynne Truss's insightful and often amusing text captures the spirit of the age.
