Detailed explanation-2: -Tennyson wrote ‘In Memoriam A.H.H. ‘ as a tribute to his beloved friend Arthur Henry Hallam, who died aged 22. Dr Holly Furneaux explores how the poem uses individual bereavement to grapple with broader questions of faith, meaning and nature.
Detailed explanation-3: -The original title of the poem was “The Way of the Soul", and this might give an idea of how the poem is an account of all Tennyson’s thoughts and feelings as he copes with his grief over such a long period, including wrestling with the big philosophico-scientific questions of his day.
