Question

Which poem is considered as the crowning glory of Alfred Tennyson's poetic career? (for 2 marks)

Answer 1

I think this question is not really useful because it tacitly assumes that there exists some poem written by Tennyson that is the “crowning glory” [yes, I know the OP wrote “crowing glory,” but I will resist the easy joke and simply pass over the typo] of his poetic career. There are poets where you can make such a choice — perhaps John Milton’s Paradise Lost, or Vergil’s The Aeneid, or Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. This sort of thing occurs when there is one great work that towers above the rest of the poet’s body of work.
