Sinopsis
Excerpt from English Versification: A Complete Practical Guide to the Whole Subject
A perusal of the present analysis will at once show, even to such as are comparatively unacquainted with the orthodox s00pe of English poetics, how much our national literature is likely to have suffered through want of some such induction to metric science as is now at length made attainable. It is hoped that this manual will in no mean degree serve to advance the proper study of the mother-tongue, only now beginning to receive in our schools and colleges some slight share of the consideration most justly its due.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to versification in English poetry. It offers a complete overview of all metrical forms, from foundational elements like iambs and trochees to more complex and rarely used techniques. The author provides clear definitions and ample examples, making this book a valuable resource for both aspiring poets and students of the craft. A unique feature of this book is its emphasis on the differences between English versification and the metrical systems used in classical languages like Greek and Latin. The author argues that the traditional approach to English verse, which treats it as a derivative of classical forms, has hindered the development of the art form. By understanding the unique characteristics of English prosody, poets can unlock new possibilities for expression and innovation. The author also explores the relationship between rhythm and meaning in poetry. He argues that metrical form is not merely a technical constraint but an essential tool for conveying emotion and ideas. Through careful analysis of famous poems, the author demonstrates how poets use rhythm to create effects such as tension, release, and surprise. This book is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in understanding or writing English poetry. It offers a wealth of knowledge and insights that will deepen readers' appreciation of this enduring art form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
