There is now on exhibition in the Widener Memorial Room of the Library a remarkable collection of the works of Tennyson, comprising both original manuscripts and printed copies.
Among the most interesting is a book of "Lyrical Poems", which is the first volume that has Tennyson's name on the title page. There is in addition a presentation copy of "The Princess" and one of "The Holy Grail and Other Poems", containing a page in the author's own hand-writing. A privately printed copy of "Becket" as Sir Henry Irving adapted it for acting is also on exhibition.
Manuscripts of the "Eagle", the "Charge of the Light Brigade", and the "Charge of the Heavy Brigade" are very unusual features. In addition to the manuscript of the "Light Brigade", there is a copy of it which was sent by the author to the army in the Crimea at the request of the soldiers there.
