Tennyson's interest in Goethe's masterpiece began around 1824. It reached a remarkable level of intensity in 1833 34, and continued, intermittently, until 1855. The powerful influence that Faust exerted on his writings was mediated, most notably, by the translations of Abraham Hayward (1801 84), and it was often combined with that of a number of closely related works, by authors including Schiller, Byron, Shelley and Carlyle. This book reveals for the first time that Goethe's masterpiece is a presence in at least two dozen of Tennyson's poems, including several that are part of the canon of British literature.
Tom Baynes studied English and History at the universities of London and Bristol. In 2011 he was awarded an AHRC doctoral studentship, and in 2017 he won the RES Essay Prize. His articles on Goethe, Schiller, Richard Graves, Byron, Keats, Carlyle, Bulwer Lytton, Dickens, Arthur Hallam and Tennyson have appeared in Essays in Criticism, The Review of English Studies, Notes and Queries, Romanticism, The Tennyson Research Bulletin and Publications of the English Goethe Society.
