I saw in my English class he is called Alfred Lord Tennyson. What's the difference between Lord Tennyson or Baron Tennyson. Should it be Lord Alfred Tennyson? Which is correct?? ( PatseG ( talk) 01:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC))
All the lower ranks of British Peerage (Marquess, Earl, Viscount, Baron)are referred to simply as Lord This-n-that, for speed and simplicity. Tennyson became well-known, and was appointed Poet Laureate, just under his common name, Alfred Tennyson. When he was created Baron, common parlance started to refer to him as Alfred,Lord Tennyson, an unusual usage, but one that has stuck.

Definitely not Lord Alfred Tennyson, a form reserved for younger sons of dukes and marquesses. Seadowns ( talk) 14:53, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
I doubt this is the right forum to ask, but I'll do so anyway, excusing myself by not being a native speaker of English.
And I'm bound to ask how is one supposed to understand it? I find it difficult not to interpret this as anything other than a praise of intellectual and spiritual honesty with it's inevitable doubt about accepted beliefs, faith, and so on. So, dear ladies and gentlemen, what am I missing here? Cheerio Sorte Slyngel ( talk) 19:29, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
I noticed that Lord Duffrin has his signature on his page here. Why doesn't Tennyson? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.59.252 ( talk) 00:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
