The poem should also be read in the light of elegy, especially if we take into the account Arthur Hallam’s death in September 1833, and we should also focus on the numerous indices of irony that appear in the soliloquy, as Tennyson’s oblique intrusions in a complex, unexpected act of poetic speech. |
