Poetry Explained for the Use of Young People by Richard Lovell Edgeworth undertakes the laborious task of deconstructing poetry for the benefit of young readers so that they are able to appreciate the essence and meaning of words in rhyme. Edgeworth highlights the lack of understanding and imperfect knowledge of words and phrases as one of the mains reasons for making incorrect assumptions related to poetry. This problem is not just relevant for students but poets themselves. In this context, Poetry Explained for the Use of Young People provides detailed insights into the use of different styles of writing, selection of words and phrases as well meters which signify the tone of the poem. The title is spread across six chapters along with an introduction that postulates the different styles with the help of extracts from various poems by well-known poets. Edgeworth chooses six works of poetry which signify separate styles of writing and provides meanings and explanations for chosen stanzas. These include works by Collin, Gray and Milton among others. Shakespeare's speech of Henry the Fifth is particularly well researched and the author is able to bring out finer nuances that many readers might not notice even after repeated readings. Edgeworth takes on the bold task of bringing out elements of poetry which some might find frivolous as he himself points out in the preface but just a glance through Poetry Explained for the Use of Young People will put all doubts to rest as this is one title that can be used as a ready reference for students, poets and especially casual readers looking to understand the true meaning of the poetry they adore.

Excerpt from The Way of Poetry: An Anthology for Younger Readers Nothing in the world gives people so much real pleas ure as making things. And have you ever tried to think exactly what making a thing means? It does n't mean making something out of nothing in a magical way, but it means taking a thing, or a num ber of things that are already in existence, and so arranging them, that in addition to the things that have been used, an entirely new thing comes into being. For instance, a man may take thousands Of bricks, each of which is a separate thing that has already been made, and out of them make an entirely new thing, a house. And in building a house the man is happy for two reasons because he is making a use ful thing, a place Where he or some one else can live, and also because he is able to take a lot of bricks that have been lying in heaps, that do not seem to mean anything, and arrange them so that they become a house, which means a great deal. And there is noth ing which gives us so much satisfaction as this ability to make disorder into order and give a useful mean ing to things that until we have arranged them just as the man arranges his bricks into a house seemed to have no use or meaning at all.

Excerpt from The Young People's Tennyson: Edited With Notes IN the preface to the Select Poems of Tennyson, published two years ago, I explained that certain favorite pieces, the omission of which might be wondered at, were reserved for another volume intended for a younger class of readers than those for whom the first was designed. The plan thus hinted at is here carried out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
