Tennyson is well known as one of the most representative Victorian poets and a representative man of the nineteenth century, and there can be no other opinions in this matter. It's not only because he reflected vital parts of the Victorian experiences in his poems, but because his contemporaries recognized him as a leader of their culture and thoughts. That “Tennysonian” became through the years unavoidably synonymous with “Victorian” shows the general public’s reliance on him and his contribution to his age. But he could not satisfy the only role as a spokesman to his age whom the society wanted. He continuously came into conflict between the poet as a public leader and the role as an aesthetic recluse. He was the poet who was more sensitive to the social demand than any other poet in his age. But in an effort to satisfy the public need, Tennyson was torn between two impulses: his natural bent and public’s insistence. His natural bent was for intensely personal expressions. But to provide a firm guidance in the problems of his age, was a task that sometimes appalled him. The result was a conflict between the poet as a public leader and the poet as an aesthetic recluse which is manifested in Poems(1842). He tried to find a reconciliation between the two voices in it. To examine this process is the purpose of this paper.
