What reading level is An Introduction to Poetry : for Students of English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is equally familiar in the form made up of alternate four- and three-stress verses (as in Wordsworth's Lucy Gray), in four- stress verses throughout (as in Cowper's Shrub- bery), and in five-stress throughout (as in Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard) . The last of these types is sometimes called the heroic quatrain.
Returning to our possible forms, the second on the list, aaab, while a practicable stanza, is not a true quatrain, since it inevitably divides itself into a tercet and a coda ...or refrain.
Used in this way it is familiar, as in Cowper's My THE STANZA.
309 Mary. The same thing would be true of the op- posite type, abhh, which is practically unknown.
The form aabh is a simple combination of two couplets, into which verse will fall naturally enough ; it appears in some important poems, such as Shelley's Sensitive Plant (all in four- stress verses) and Marvell's Ode on Cromwell's Re- turn (with a combination of four- and three-stress).
The fact that it is by no means a favorite stanza may be sufficiently explained by its comparative lack of unity : there is nothing to link together the first and second parts.
