- Title
Delirious Bulldogs and Nasty Crockery: Tennyson as Nonsense Poet.
- Authors
BARTON, ANNA
- Abstract
The article presents an analysis of John Stuart Mill's literary critical views regarding the definition of poetry, particularly his assertions of poetry being an essentially non-sense based form of expression and knowledge. Further analysis of this point is given through secondary readings of Edward Lear's critical views of Alfred Tennyson's poetry collections.
