Martin Eden by Jack London: “She read to him much from "The Princess," and often he saw her eyes swimming with tears, so finely was her aesthetic nature strung.”
Love and Mr Lewisham by H. G. Wells: “Bletherley was going to discourse of "Woman under Socialism," and he brought a big American edition of Shelley's works and a volume of Tennyson with the "Princess," both bristling with paper tongues against his marked quotations.”
The Siege of Krishnapur by J. G. Farrell: “"What was that phrase of Tennyson's? '...the soft and milky rabble of womankind...!'" and later "the qualities of Tennyson's 'great, broad-shouldered, genial Englishman'" -- both lines are from Tennyson's narrative poem The Princess (1847).”
The Gilded Age by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner: “O lift your natures up: Embrace our aims: work out your freedom. Girls, Knowledge is now no more a fountain sealed; Drink deep until the habits of the slave, The sins of emptiness, gossip and spite And slander, die. The Princess.”
