From John Bunyan's 'country rhimes' to rude chants about Manchester
United, from Ted Hughes to Edward Lear, and from William Blake to
the Taylor sisters, Morag Styles covers three hundred years of
poetry with infectious enthusiasm and a keen critical eye. In this
scholarly and fascinating book, she provides an informative account
of the history of poetry written for children in Britain and
America in the last three centuries. She analyses the major poets,
genres and developments over this period, and traces the
continuities between the past and the present. Styles asks
fundamental questions which have often been left unanswered: What
do we mean by children's poetry? Why did such a seemingly small
number of women write poetry for children until recently? The
author subscribes to the widest possible definition of poetry, and
so the reader will find in this book hymns, songs, playground
rhymes, raps and verse - whether trivial or profound. From the
Garden to the Street will provoke, inform and entertain academics
of children's literature, those who teach it in the classroom, and
all of us who still take pleasure in the poetry of childhood.
