Exploring the theme of metaphysical skepticism, this analysis challenges the traditional view of Tennyson as merely a promoter of spiritual values. It argues that his poetry reflects Enlightenment rationality and the complexities of modernity during his time. By utilizing Tennyson's manuscript drafts, the study offers in-depth readings of both his early and mature works, including "In Memoriam," "Maud," and "The Lover's Tale." This approach highlights the intellectual depth often overlooked by cultural studies, making it a significant resource for Tennyson scholars.
