'If Cronin's book elegantly succeeds in showing how these Romantic questions were answered by poets like Tennyson, it also succeeds in reminding us that these answers would become questionable in their turn.' - Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, Magdalen College, Oxford, The Tennyson Research Bulletin '...contains so much lucid, intelligent and perceptive commentary upon its subject.' - Sally Bushell, The Wordsworth Circle
