This collection gives sustained attention to the literary dimensions of childrens poetry from the eighteenth century to the present. While reasserting the importance of well-known voices, such as those of Isaac Watts, William Blake, Lewis Carroll, Christina Rossetti, A. A. Milne, and Carol Ann Duffy, the contributors also reflect on the aesthetic significance of landmark works by less frequently celebrated figures such as Richard Johnson, Ann and Jane Taylor, Cecil Frances Alexander and Michael Rosen. Scholarly treatment of childrens poetry has tended to focus on its publication history rather than to explore what comprises and why we delight in its idiosyncratic pleasures. And yet arguments about how and why poetic language might appeal to the child are embroiled in the history of childrens poetry, whether in Isaac Watts emphasising the didactic efficacy of like sounds, William Blake and the Taylor sisters revelling in the beauty of semantic ambiguity, or the authors of nonsense verse jettisoning sense to thrill their readers with the sheer music of poetry. Alive to the ways in which recent debates both echo and repudiate those conducted in earlier periods, The Aesthetics of Childrens Poetry investigates the stylistic and formal means through which childrens poetry, in theory and in practice, negotiates the complicated demands we have made of it through the ages.
