AbstractHistoryArchive Description

In considering the different reading skills required for poetry Langford provides some notes 'intended as suggestions to help teachers enable their students to think about what is happening when they are first confronted with the more difficult poetry which they encounter for the first time in years nine or ten.' In conclusion, Langford believes that 'What is essential is that the students come to believe that the poem has some meaning for them. After all, if poetry is to have a future, the only possible place in which that can occur is in the hearts and minds of a readership.'
