One of the most popular of the Victorian poets, Alfred Lord Tennyson became Poet Laureate in 1850. His earliest verse was published in collaboration with his brother, Poems by Two Brothers (1727). Some of his other collections were Poems (1842), Locksley Hall (1842), The Princess (1847), Maud, and Other Poems (1855) and Idylls of the King (1857-1891). He wrote "In Memoriam," in which the well-known phrase "nature red in tooth and claw" appears, from 1833 to 1850. A collected and annotated edition of his poetry was published in 1969, but there are also many other useful editions.
