On this day in 1833 Arthur Henry Hallam died suddenly at the age of twenty-two, while on a trip to Vienna. Although a promising poet and essayist, Hallam is chiefly remembered as the one eulogized in Tennyson's In Memoriam A. H. H. The two first met at Cambridge, where they became best friends, and members of the legendary intellectual club, the "Apostles." Hallam's death became an enduring inspiration for Tennyson—sixteen years of meditative poems, these connected as stages in an evolving grief, though Tennyson neither foresaw their unity nor expected to publish them. When gathered together and anonymously printed on June 1st, 1850, In Memoriam was overwhelmingly popular—60,000 copies sold in six months—and soon regarded as a monument not just to Hallam but to the Victorian Age.
