likeseizuresofthePrince:"fallingsfromus,vanishings,"inWordsworthianphrase;instancesof"dissociation,"inmodernpsychologicalterminology。Tennysonhimself,likeShelleyandWordsworth,hadexperienceofthiskindofdreamingawakewhichheattributestohisPrince,tostrengthentheshadowyyetbrilliantcharacterofhisromance。Itisathingofnormalandnaturalpointsderepere;ofdaylightsuggestion,touchedaswiththemagnifyingandintensifyingelementsofhaschish-begottenphantasmagoria。InthesamewayopiumraisedintotheregionofbrilliantvisionthatpassageofPurchaswhichColeridgewasreadingbeforehedreamedKublaKhan。ButinTennysontheeffectsweredeliberatelysoughtandsecured。

"Wecannotcrossthecausewhyweareborn。"

ThepoemisfarfrombeingdeficientinthathumaninterestwhichShelleysaidthatitwasasvaintoaskfromHIM,astoseektobuyalegofmuttonatagin-shop。Thecharacters,theprotagonists,withCyril,Melissa,LadyBlanche,thechildAglaia,KingGama,theotherking,Arac,andthehero\'smother——beautifullystudiedfromthemotherofthepoet——areallsufficientlyhuman。Buttheyseemtowaverinthemagicair,"asallthegoldenautumnwoodlandreelsathwartthefiresofautumnleaves。Forthesereasons,andbecauseofthedesignedfantasyofthewholecomposition,ThePrincessisessentiallyapoemforthetrueloversofpoetry,ofSpenserandofColeridge。Theseriousmotive,thequestionofWoman,herwrongs,herrights,hereducation,hercapabilities,wasnot"intheair"in1847。Tobesureithadoftenbeen"intheair。"TheAlexandrianPlatonists,theRenaissance,eventheageofAnne,hadtheiremancipatedandlearnedladies。EarlyGreecehadSappho,Corinna,andErinna,thefirstthechiefoflyricpoets,eveninherfragments,thetwoothersapplaudedbyallHellas。TheFrenchRevolutionhadbegottenMaryWollstonecraftGodwinandherVindicationoftheRightsofWomen,andinFranceGeorgeSandwasprominentandemancipatedenoughwhilethepoetwrote。But,thequestionofloveapart,GeorgeSandwas"very,verywoman,"shiningasadomesticcharacterandfondofneedlework。Englandwasnotexcitedaboutthequestionwhichhassinceproducedsomanydisputants,inevitablyshrill,andhasnotbeengreatlymeddledwithbywomenofgenius,GeorgeEliotorMrsOliphant。Thepoem,inthepublicindifferenceastofeminineeducation,cameratherprematurely。Wehavenowladies\'colleges,notinhauntsremotefromman,butbythesedgedbanksofCamandCherwell。Therehavebeennorevolutionaryresults:noboyshavespiedthesechastenests,withechoingromanticconsequences。ThebeautyandsplendourofthePrincess\'suniversityhavenotariseninlightandcolour,anditisonlyatStAndrewsthatgirlsweartheacademicandbecomingcostumeofthescarletgown。Therealisfarbelowtheideal,buttherealin1847seemedeminentlyremote,orevenimpossible。

ThelearnedPrincessherselfwasnotonourlevelastoknowledgeandthepastofwomankind。SheknewnotoftheirmasterlypositioninthelawofancientEgypt。Gynaeocracyandmatriarchy,thewomantheheadofthesavageorprehistoricgroup,werethingshiddenfromher。

She"glancedattheLyciancustom,"butnotatthePictish,acustomwhichwouldhavesuitedGeorgeSandtoamarvel。ShemalignedtheHottentots。

"Thehighestisthemeasureoftheman,AndnottheKaffir,Hottentot,Malay。"

TheHottentotshadlongagoanticipatedthePrincessandhershrillmodernsisterhood。IfwetaketheGreeks,orevenourselves,wemaysay,withDampier(1689),"TheHodmadods,thoughanastypeople,yetaregentlementothese"asregardsthepositionofwomen。LetushearMrHartland:"IneveryHottentot\'shousethewifeissupreme。

However,in1847EnglandhadnotyetthoughtofimitatingtheHodmadods。Consequently,andbyreasonofthepurelyliteraryandelaboratelyfantasticalcharacterofThePrincess,itwasnotofanaturetoincreasethepoet\'sfameandsuccess。"Mybookisout,andIhateit,andsonodoubtwillyou,"TennysonwrotetoFitzGerald,whohateditandsaidso。"LikeCarlyle,IgaveupallhopesofhimafterThePrincess,"indeeditwasnotapttoconciliateCarlyle。

"Noneofthesongshadtheoldchampagneflavour,"saidFitz;andLordTennysonadds,"NothingeitherbyThackerayorbymyfathermetFitzGerald\'sapprobationunlesshehadfirstseenitinmanuscript。"

Thisprejudicewasveryhuman。LordTennysonremarks,astothepoet\'smeaninginthiswork,borntooearly,that"thesoonerwomanfindsout,beforethegreateducationalmovementbegins,that\'womanisnotundevelopedman,butdiverse,\'thebetteritwillbefortheprogressoftheworld。"

Butprobablythe"educationalmovement"willnotmakemuchdifferencetowomankindonthewhole。TheoldPlatonicremarkthatwoman"doesthesamethingsasman,butnotsowell,"willeternallyholdgood,atleastinthearts,andinletters,exceptinrarecasesofgenius。

CHAPTERV——INMEMORIAM。

InMay1850afew,copiesofInMemoriamwereprintedforfriends,andpresentlythepoemwaspublishedwithoutauthor\'sname。Thepieceshadbeencomposedatintervals,from1833onwards。Itistobeobservedthatthe"sectionaboutevolution"waswrittensomeyearsbefore1844,whentheingenioushypothesesofRobertChambers,inVestigesofCreation,weregiventotheworld,andcausedagooddealoftalk。Tenyears,again,afterInMemoriam,cameDarwin\'sOriginofSpecies。Thesedatesareworthobserving。Thetheoryofevolution,ofcourseinarudemythicalshape,isatleastasoldasthetheoryofcreation,andisfoundamongthespeculationsofthemostbackwardsavages。TheAruntaofCentralAustralia,araceremotefromthepolite,haveahypothesisofevolutionwhichpostulatesonlyafewrudimentaryformsoflife,amarineenvironment,andtheminimumofsupernormalassistanceinthewayofstimulatingtheprimalformsinthedirectionofmorehighlydifferentiateddevelopments。"Therudimentaryforms,Inapertwa,wereinrealitystagesinthetransformationofvariousplantsandanimalsintohumanbeings……Theyhadnodistinctlimbsororgansofsight,hearing,orsmell。"Theyexistedinakindoflumps,andweresetfreefromthecaulswhichenvelopedthembytwobeingscalledUngambikula,"awordwhichmeans\'outofnothing,\'or\'self-

RuskinhadnotpublishedthefirstvolumeofModernPainters。HisOxfordprizepoemisof1839。MrStopfordBrookewasatschool。TheDukeofArgyllwasbeingprivatelyeducated:andsowiththerest,exceptthecontemporaryMaurice。HowcanMrHarrisonsaythat,inthetimeofInMemoriam,Tennysonwas"intouchwiththeideasofHerschel,Owen,Huxley,Darwin,andTyndall"?{8}WhenTennysonwrotethepartsofInMemoriamwhichdealwithscience,nobodybeyondtheirfamiliesandfriendshadheardofHuxley,Darwin,andTyndall。

Theyhadnotdeveloped,muchlesshadtheypublished,their"generalideas。"EveninhisjournaloftheCruiseoftheBeagleDarwin\'sideaswerereligious,andhenaivelyadmiredtheworksofGod。ItisstrangethatMrHarrisonhasbasedhiscriticism,andhistheoryofTennyson\'swantoforiginality,onwhatseemstobeahistoricalerror。HecitespartsofInMemoriam,andremarks,"Noonecandenythatallthisisexquisitelybeautiful;thattheseeternalproblemshaveneverbeencladinsuchinimitablegrace……ButthetrainofthoughtisessentiallythatwithwhichordinaryEnglishreadershavebeenmadefamiliarbyF。D。Maurice,ProfessorJowett,EcceHomo,Hypatia,andnowbyArthurBalfour,MrDrummond,andmanyvaliantcompaniesofSeptem[whySeptem?]contraDiabolum。"OnemustkeeprepeatingthehistoricalveritythattheideasofInMemoriamcouldnothavebeen"madefamiliarby"authorswhohadnotyetpublishedanything,orbybooksyetundreamedofandunborn,suchasEcceHomoandJowett\'sworkonsomeofStPaul\'sEpistles。IfthesebookscontaintheideasofInMemoriam,itisbydintofrepetitionandborrowingfromInMemoriam,orbycoincidence。TheoriginalitywasTennyson\'s,forwecannotdisputetheevidenceofdates。
