英國維多利亞時代最傑出的詩人。後成爲男爵，被稱爲阿爾弗雷德.但尼生男爵。就讀於劍橋大學期間，與阿瑟.哈萊姆建立了深厚的友誼，於1830年發表了抒情詩集。1833年發表另一詩集，其中包括〈食荷花人〉、〈夏洛蒂小姐〉等。同年，哈萊姆的不期而亡沈重打擊了田納西，促使他寫成後來收集到他的《悼念集》（1850）裏的一些詩篇，以及後來出現在創作時間較長的，他最喜愛的詩集《莫德》（1855）裏的一些抒情詩。接着他又於1842年創作了《詩集》，其中包括〈尤里西斯〉、〈亞瑟王之死〉、〈洛克斯利堂〉，於1847年創作了長篇反女性主義的奇幻故事《公主》，其中包括抒情詩〈甜美與粗俗〉，〈淚水，無用的淚水〉等。他於1850年結婚並封爲英國桂冠詩人。其後他的主要作品有〈輕騎兵衝鋒〉（1855）、描述亞瑟王傳奇故事的《國王敘事集》（1859）、《伊諾克.阿登》（1864）。但尼生是一位造詣極高的詩人，有着憂鬱的詩人氣質，也被看爲是英國中產階級的代言人。他的作品常常反映科學的進步對當時社會的傳統思想所帶來的衝擊。

Tennyson, Alfred

known asAlfred, Lord TennysonEnglish poet, the leading poet of the Victorian Age. While attending Cambridge Univ., Tennyson developed a deep friendship with Arthur Hallam and published Poems, Chiefly Lyrical (1830). Another volume, including “The Lotos-Eaters” and “The Lady of Shalott,” was published in 1832 (dated 1833). When Hallam died suddenly in 1833, the severe shock prompted Tennyson to write poems that eventually became part of the vast In Memoriam (1850) and lyrics that later appeared in the brooding Maud (1855), his favorite poem. Poems (1842), including “Ulysses,” “Morte d'Arthur,” and “Locksley Hall,” followed, then The Princess (1847), a long antifeminist fantasia that includes such lyrics as “Sweet and Low” and “Tears, Idle Tears.” In 1850 he married and was named poet laureate of England. Among his subsequent works are “The Charge of the Light Brigade” (1855); Idylls of the King (1859), treating the Arthurian legend; and Enoch Arden (1864). A consummate poetic artist who was inclined to melancholy, Tennyson was also regarded as a spokesman for the educated English middle class. His works often dealt with the difficulties of an age when traditional assumptions were increasingly called into question by science and modern progress.
