John Batchelor has recently retired from the University of Newcastle and is now Emeritus Professor there. Formerly Joseph Cowen Professor of English Literature at Newcastle, he was also a visiting Professor of the University of Lancaster and previously a Fellow of New College Oxford. His books include biographies of Joseph Conrad and John Ruskin, monographs on the work of Virginia Woolf and H.G. Wells, and a study of the Edwardian novel. His most recent book, Lady Trevelyan and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, is a lively biography of Pauline Trevelyan who established a salon of the arts in Wallington, Northumberland. John Batchelor was until recently an editor (English and American literature) of the literary periodical Modern Language Review and general editor of the Yearbook of English Studies. He lives in Newcastle, and is working on a new study of Rudyard Kipling.
John Batchelor has written a biography which is commendably careful, highly readable and wholly sensible. It should stand, in years to come, as the most advisable entry point into this most inscrutable of poets Spectator Batchelor tells Tennyson's story with verve, vigour and assurance and transforms our view of him. His book is as much a reading of the Victorian age as of its favourite poet -- Steve Barfield Lady John Batchelor has written a biography which is commendably careful, highly readable and wholly sensible. It should stand, in years to come, as the most advisable entry point into this most inscrutable of poets -- John Sutherland Spectator Batchelor's book is a useful reminder of what makes Tennyson a brilliant poet: it points the reader back in the direction of the poems -- Emma Hogan New Statesman Batchelor pinpoints the amazing alignment of Tennyson's verse with the mood of Victorian Britain at large. His scholarly approach results in densely written text but his devotion to his subject and the period drenches the book with intimacy and heartfelt affection -- Jeffrey Taylor Sunday Express
