Tennyson, Read, and Sumner Drink Tea of Politics
A London letter recounts an American audience with Alfred Lord Tennyson and an encounter with Charles Sumner. The talks cover England’s stance in America’s war, with blunt American pride and distaste for outside interference. Sumner’s later reading of The Princess by Tennyson undercuts his host, ending in a strained five hour recital and Sumner’s departure.
