- Title
What is Haunting Tennyson's Maud (1855)?
- Authors
O'Gorman, Francis
- Abstract
The article presents a critique of the 1855 poem "Maud," by the 19th-century English writer Alfred Tennyson, discussing its treatment of grief and death as a theme in contrast to his earlier collection of "In Memoriam A.H.H." Details are given describing Tennyson's grief regarding the death of his friend Arthur Henry Hallam and his expression of this in both works, particularly his treatment of the concept of ghosts or other forms of returning from the dead.
