August 29, 2025, Tennyson's Seat Viewpoint

This vantage point was named after Alfred Lord Tennyson, a prominent 19th-century poet (born 1809, deceased 1892). His literary work was so enthusiastically received by the public that Queen Victoria knighted him – thus becoming the 1st Baron Tennyson – and bestowed the honorary office of Poet Laureate. His influence on later literature is evident, for example, in the fact that the Queen of Crime, Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (Lady Mallowan), references his work "The Lady of Shalott" in one of her crime novels: "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side." Not only is the title a quotation from that work, but Miss Jane Marple is also repeatedly reminded of the "Lady of Shalott" and quotes from it throughout the story.
