Charles Tennyson Turner (1808–1879) was an English poet and elder brother of Alfred Lord Tennyson. The two attended Trinity College, Cambridge together. After graduating, Turner pursued a life in the church―acting as the vicar of Grasby, Lincolnshire from 1836 until his death. Influenced by Byron at an early age, Turner published a considerable body of poems, writing a total of 350 sonnets over the course of his life. Some of his more notable publications include Sonnets, Lyrics and Translations (1873) and, co-authored book with his brother, Poems by Two Brothers (1827).
