Tennyson was appointed as Poet Laureate and became the quintessential literary voice of Victorian Britain, representing the nation's mood and concerns, such as loss, love, duty, and the passage of time. In Memoriam A.H.H. (1850) is one of the most significant poems of the Victorian era, and hailed by Queen Victoria as her greatest source of comfort after the Bible.
