| Zusammenfassung: | From « Ulysses », written in 1833, to In Memoriam and « Tithonius », respectively published in 1850 and 1859, to the final version of « Tiresias », published in 1885, Tennyson’s literary career seems to have been guided by a source of inspiration mainly influenced by elegy. « Ulysses » of course belongs to that vein, even though the soliloquy has too often been considered the Victorian model of courage and heroism. 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. |
