"Narrative and Lyric Poems (Second Series) for Use in the Lower School" by Stevenson is a collection of poems curated for educational use, aimed at younger students, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology includes various narrative and lyric poems, supported by annotations to help clarify challenges students may face during their reading. The selection encompasses works from renowned poets such as Tennyson, Browning, and Byron, fostering an appreciation of classic literature while simultaneously serving as a resource for examination preparation. The opening of the collection begins with a brief preface explaining its purpose and the structure of the poems, which are divided into two sections suitable for Junior and Senior Public School examinations. It includes detailed annotations to facilitate understanding and highlight various difficulties encountered in specific poems. Among the featured poems is Tennyson's "Enoch Arden," which narrates the heart-wrenching tale of a sailor who faces separation from his loved ones due to circumstances beyond his control. The narrative explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice as Enoch ventures into perilous waters, showing an early glimpse into the emotional depth and societal morals that permeate the selections within this volume.
