About Aye Write: Rhyme and Reason: A Short History of Poetry and People (for People who Don’t Usually Read Poetry): Mark Forsyth
In Mark’s other books, The Etymologicon, The Horologicon, and The Elements of Eloquence, he explores the English language and all the quirks that come with it. In Rhyme & Reason, he turns his attention to English poetry and all the reasons people once read it — for romance, for religion, and for the sheer fun of it.
Find out how radio killed the poetry star, how to have fun at a 17th century hanging, what Byron really thought of Keats, and how the greatest literary hoax in history started in Scotland and took the world by storm.
