Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and the Tradition of Light Verse

Abstract

T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats has been underestimated for two reasons: first, it is light verse; second, it was written for children. Old Possum's Book, however, has prominent characteristics of its own. In this thesis, we define "light verse" as a verse with an enjoyable rhythm and an easy-to-understand theme. With this definition in mind, we present a chronological list of light verse written for children as examples of traditional light verse. Then, we examine how Old Possum's Book is new and different from traditional light verse.

Old Possum's Book renders two features when compared with other light verse for children. First, Old Possum is an adult first-person speaker, presenting the other characters in the book, while in other children's verse, the speaker is a child, speaking of his/her daily life or other things around him/her unconcerned with introducing other characters, as Old Possum does. Second, Old Possum's Book treats old age as a natural aspect of life, though it has never been a popular theme among light verse for children.
