Poet, born in Somersby,
Lincolnshire, E England, UK. He studied at Cambridge, and published his
first poetry in 1829, but it was not well received; a revised volume in
1842 established his reputation, including such major poems as "The Lady
of Shallott and The Lotus-eaters". His major poetic achievement was the
elegy mourning the death of his friend Arthur Hallam, "In Memoriam' (1850);
and in the same year he succeeded Wordsworth as poet laureate. In 1855
he wrote Maud: a Monodrama, and 1859--85 published a series of poems on
the Arthurian theme, Idylls of the King (1859). In the 1870s he wrote several
plays, and continued to write poetry until his death. In his later years,
he was acclaimed by the whole nation, and he was created a baron in 1884.
