Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book ventures to question traditional views of prosody, the basic rhythmic patterns in Western poetry, by challenging the longstanding assumption that the scansion method of analysis is the only convention that can be used to understand and define poetic rhythms. Prioritising natural intonation and the ear's perception of time over scansion's theoretical rules and artificial rigidity, the author takes readers on a journey of discovery, unearthing hidden rhythms in diverse poetic forms ranging from Homer to Shakespeare to Longfellow. This book is a significant contribution to the fields of prosody and poetry, offering fresh insights into the relationship between sound, rhythm, and meaning in verse.
