Maud

The Novella

By: Alfred Lord Tennyson, Arthur Roberts

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"If I am dear to someone else, then I must act as though I am worth the care. Even if I cannot yet feel it fully, I must begin to believe that I am worth saving. Because to be loved by another is not only a gift, it is a call to rise, to heal, to protect what has been seen as worthy."

Maud is a narrative poem by Tennyson which tells the story of a tormented man who falls for the beautiful and enigmatic Maud, a love that promises salvation but spirals into obsession and despair. This book is a novelisation of Maud, intended to make the poem more accessible to the general reader and students of the poem.
