Becket

1884

Alfred Tennyson


TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE EARL OF SELBORNE.

MY DEAR SELBORNE,—To you, the honoured Chancellor of our own day, I dedicate this dramatic memorial of your great predecessor;—which, altho’ not intended in its present form to meet the exigencies of our modern theatre, has nevertheless—for so you have assured me—won your approbation.—Ever yours,

TENNYSON.
