3. *EARLY LIFE AND WORK
Tennyson was the fourth of 12
children, born into an old
Lincolnshire family, his father a rector. Alfred, with two
of his brothers, Frederick and Charles, was sent in
1815 to Louth grammar school—where he was unhappy.
He left in 1820, but, though home conditions were
difficult, his father managed to give him a wide literary
education. Alfred was precocious, and before his teens
he had composed in the styles of Alexander Pope, Sir
Walter Scott, and John Milton.
