His first important book, \u003ci\u003e Poems, Chiefly Lyrical\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 1830, and was not a critical success, but his two volumes of \u003ci\u003ePoems\u003c\/i\u003e, 1842, which contain some of his finest work, established him as the leading poet of his generation. T. S. Eliot wrote of Tennyson: 'He has three qualities which are seldom found together except in the greatest poets: abundance, variety and complete competence. He had the finest ear of any English poet since Milton.' After a short illness Tennyson died in 1892 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e Christopher Ricks\u003c\/b\u003e is Warren Professor of the Humanities, and Co-director of the Editorial Institute, at Boston University.
