Please include a thesis statement in your introduction and answer the prompt below using complete sentences and multiple paragraphs. You must quote from the poem in the development of your essay.
A) Explain how Tennyson's Ulysses challenges Wordsworth's solution of loss and recompense in Tintern Abbey. You should, naturally, summarize how Wordsworth achieves recompense, and show specifically how the Tennyson poem disagrees with that solution. Be sure to explain how the two poets represent the values of their periods; Wordsworth is Romantic, Tennyson is Victorian. How are they different? It will also be helpful in the essay to compare the function of Wordsworth's sister and Ulysses' son, Telemachus, in the respective poems.
