Frederick Tennyson (1807–1898), poet, was the eldest son of the Rector of Somersby, Lincolnshire, and brother of Alfred Tennyson. Educated at Eton College and Cambridge, he passed most of his life in Italy and Jersey.
He contributed to the Poems by Two Brothers, and produced Days and Hours (lyrics) (1854), The Isles of Greece (1890), Daphne (1891), and Poems of the Day and Night (1895). All his works show passages of genuine poetic power.
