Lecture 10 | Grieving with Tennyson | Joshua Rawleigh

Introducing us to Tennyson's lyrical representations of grief, Joshua Rawleigh (Indiana University, Bloomington) explores how Tennyson's "In Memoriam A.H.H." involves a complex fluctuation between grief and acceptance, doubt and faith. Close readings of the poetry reveal an enactment of that fluctuation through a recursive art that resists elegiac conventions.
