Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Measures of the Poets: A New System of English Prosody
It may be added that this book is the outcome of an accidental discovery, made with great surprise about three years ago, that works on English prosody still adopt a system which even at school filled us with despair, and which I believe to be incapable of reasoned defence. It is now some forty-five years since I first began to apply the principles here set forth to English verse. I have taught them to pupils and found they were quickly grasped, and have sought in vain to discover a point on which they fail.

Excerpt from The Measures of the Poets: A New System of English Prosody
The purpose of this book is to assist both students and lovers of poetry in general towards such a complete enjoyment of the beauty and music of English verse as can only be attained through a clear comprehension of its metrical framework; that is to say, a knowledge of the measures in which it is composed and the scansional schemes on which these are based. If this end is to be achieved, it is unquestionable that we must have a system of prosody that is on the one hand sound in principle, and on the other not liable to break down when brought to the test of application. Incredible as it may seem, no complete system has yet been put forth, so far as I can discover, which fulfils either of these indispensable conditions. In his book, The Science of English Verse, published some forty years ago - a book which unfortunately I did not hear of until the present work was written - the American poet and musician Sidney Lanier advocated the trochaic base for our lyrics, but strangely enough retained the iambic base for blank verse. English books on the subject still continue to adopt the iambic base, even for lyrics, and accordingly the system put forth in these pages is, so far as the systems in vogue are concerned, altogether revolutionary.
