This book contains nothing more than every young person should know
about the construction of English verse, and its main divisions, both
by forms and by subject-matter. The historical development of the
main divisions is sketched, and briefly illustrated by representative
examples; but the true character of poetry as an art and as a social
force has always been in the writer's mind. Only the elements of
prosody are given. The aim has been not to make the study too
technical, but to interest the student in poetry, and to aid him in
acquiring a well-rooted taste for good literature.
