Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1920, exhorts teachers of poetry to elevate their students' understanding beyond the superficialities of literary fact by explicating and investigating the deeper meanings contained in verse. The author decries the prevailing pedagogical approach of memorizing data, such as the birthdates of poets, when the emphasis should lie on interpreting the substance of poems and grasping the truths they contain. Poetry, the author argues, possesses facts that are just as real and tangible as those in prose. The book makes the case that understanding the structure and intent of poems through careful analysis not only enhances appreciation but also makes them more enjoyable. The author illustrates this approach by providing insightful readings of poems by Shelley, such as 'To a Skylark' and 'Ode to the West Wind', demonstrating how the examination of poetic devices and symbolism reveals the poet's complex emotions, philosophies and personal experiences. This book is a valuable guide for educators and students seeking to cultivate a deeper understanding and love of poetry. Its emphasis on exploring the essence and impact of verse remains relevant today, offering fresh insights into the enduring power of poetic expression.
