Throughout history, the verse novel has persisted as a modest but
noteworthy literary subgenre, from classic works like Eugene Onegin
to contemporary volumes by Vikram Seth, Dorothy Porter, and Derek
Walcott. In particular, the verse novel has emerged as a popular
form for young adult readers, such as the Newbery Medal winner Out
of the Dust by Karen Hesse. As this unique form continues to
flourish, it merits closer examination. In The Verse Novel in Young
Adult Literature, Brenna Friesner explores both the history and
current use of the verse novel in teen fiction. Examining more than
220 titles written over the last few decades, Friesner discusses
the verse novel's evolution, analyzes key works, and considers how
these novels can grapple with content that distinguishes them from
traditional fiction. Though this study includes volumes written
throughout history, its focus on contemporary novels further
demonstrates the form's relevance for today's teens. By explaining
its current popularity, this book acknowledges the verse novel's
potential to provide accessible, authentic stories for young adults
to enjoy. The Verse Novel in Young Adult Literature will be of
interest to librarians and teachers, as well as anyone wanting to
learn more about this burgeoning aspect of young adult literature.
