| Summary | "Narrative and Lyric Poems (First Series) for Use in the Lower School" by O. J. Stevenson is a collection of poetry aimed at educational use in lower school settings, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology includes a variety of narrative and lyric poems intended to enhance literary appreciation among young students, covering themes from love and nature to heroism and history through well-regarded works by poets like Moore, Scott, and Macaulay. The opening of the book provides a preface that outlines its purpose and organization, emphasizing the suitability of the selected poems for public school examinations and the importance of a graded approach to poetry for students. It includes a diverse mix of poems like "The Meeting of the Waters" by Moore, which conveys the beauty of friendship and nature, and Macaulay's "Horatius," a narrative poem that recounts the legendary defense of a bridge by the valiant Horatius against overwhelming odds. The beginning sets a scholarly tone, highlighting the educational intent and the significance of the poems chosen for young readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
