Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the structure of verse in English languages, focusing on the literary nuances of lines and stanzas. The author first explores the principles of prosody, such as accent and rhythm, and establishes the distinctions between metrical practice in Old English and the literary forms of verse that emerged during the Middle English period. The author then examines various forms of alliterative verse, the most popular form of poetry during the Old English period, and discusses the diverse treatments of the strict rules of the form in its various iterations. Shifting the focus to the influence of French and Low Latin verse forms on Middle English poetry, the book includes analysis of the metrical treatment of individual syllables, the displacement of the old alliterative long line by rhyme, and the development of new stanzaic forms. This scholarly work is paramount to understanding the evolution of English verse and is indispensable for students and scholars of the subject.
