Inside you will find many of the poems that shaped the Victorian imagination, including beloved classics like “The Lady of Shalott,” “The Kraken,” and more from his early and mature work, all presented in a clean, elegant Macmillan format with a portrait frontispiece. Tennyson wrote in an era obsessed with beauty, progress, and big questions about faith, doubt, and the modern world, and his poems became the soundtrack of the age, quoted in parlors, schools, and newspapers across the English speaking world. What really makes this copy pop for collectors and decor lovers is the rich red leather binding with an ornate gilt tooled spine, gilt ruled borders, and dramatic marbled endpapers that feel like a little piece of art every time you open the cover, plus a gilt monogram to the board that adds a custom, old world library look. It is a strong choice for anyone building a classic poetry shelf, a moody Victorian vignette, or a curated library display with real presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | Alfred, Lord Tennyson [d]Title | The Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate [d]Publisher | Macmillan and Co., Limited; The Macmillan Company [d]Date | 1899 [d]Origin | London and New York [d]Edition | Single volume collected edition [d]Binding | Full red leather with gilt tooled spine, raised bands, gilt ruled borders, gilt monogram to front board [d]Features | Marbled endpapers, portrait frontispiece [d]Dimensions | 7.75 in H x 5.25 in W x 1.5 in D [d]Language | English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[condition] The red leather binding shows honest antique wear consistent with its age: rubbing at the corners and spine ends, light scuffing, and small surface marks from shelf life. The spine retains its visual appeal and the gilt tooling remains bright, though the raised bands show some rubbing and age to the high points. The marbled endpapers are vibrant and undamaged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50914988851478,"sku":"AMD-03261","price":400.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/DSA01815.jpg?v=1768240992","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/1899-tennyson-works-macmillan-red-leather-gilt-poetry","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
