A Celebration of the Bicentenary of the Birth of Alfred, Lord TENNYSON

On 23rd October 2009, the Faculty of English along with Trinity College, Cambridge, celebrated the bicentennial birthday of Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Throughout the day, various members of the Faculty of English read a good portion of his poetic output. These readings were performed in the Judith E Wilson Drama Studio and also broadcast live over the Internet. They are now being made available on this site so that those who missed them on the day can listen to at their leisure.

Please bear in mind that these poems were recorded live and there may be some ambient sounds. Thank you!
