The collection showcases Tennyson's characteristic lyrical style, marked by rich imagery and musicality, while also reflecting the Victorian era's preoccupation with psychological depth. Central to the eponymous poem "Maud" is a profound examination of grief and madness, framed within the context of the speaker's intense love for Maud, juxtaposed with themes of societal turmoil and existential despair. The varied tones and forms throughout the collection illustrate Tennyson's innovative use of verse, challenging conventional poetic boundaries of his time.
