Abstract
Tennyson’s Maud : The “Drama of the Soul” Tennyson’s Maud, like In Memoriam, is a series of lyrical poems. Maud is also a lyrical monodrama, and into the lyrics which compose it Tennyson poured much of his strongest feelings and thoughts. As In Memoriam expressed all the disturbance, emotional and intellectual, which Hallam’s death brought with it, so in Maud Tennyson expressed the joys and sorrows he had known through love. The theme of the poem is the power of love to rescue the protagonist from selfish despair and sorrow. Tennyson’s pursuit of beauty in his poetry gave force and goal to his tortured and disordered soul as well as to the portrait of the protagonist’s warped soul in Maud. I propose to argue that Tennyson’s aesthetic of sorrow makes it possible for the persona to move from despair and sorrow to hope and happiness through his love.
