Career
In 1827 Tennyson published his first work, which was a collection of boyish rhymes entitled Poems by Two Brothers. Tennyson won the Chancellor's Gold Medal in 1829 for his piece on Timbuktu and went on to publish his first solo collection of poems in 1830.The book of poetry that contained his famous poem "The Lady of Shalott" was published in 1833. The book fell under heavy criticism, which discouraged Tennyson enough to keep him from publishing again for a decade.
Later in 1842, Tennyson released two books of poems that each became huge successes. In 1850 Tennyson reached the height of his career with the release of "In Memoriam A.H.H." Later that year he was appointed Poet Laureate, a title he held until death.
