Excerpt from Note e Ricerche Intorno a Giulio Cesare Croce
Io ne ho avuto voglia e, senza aver molto faticato, come vedrà il lettore, spero di esserci riuscito. Anzitutto, che si tratti di canzoni da cantarsi sulla musica di altre preesistenti e già note io non crederei, perchè il Croce, come in altri casi ha fatto, lo avrebbe avvertito. E non importa poi cercare nella letteratura esempi di iperrnetri, perchè nessun ipermetro c' è in queste poesie del Croce. In esse, infatti, ciascuno dei primi due versi di ogni strofa è composto di un quinario e di un settenario; ciascuno dei due ultimi di un settenario e di un ottonario.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines overlooked and bizarre metrical decisions made by Giulio Cesare Croce, a little-known poet from Bologna, Italy. The author argues that these strange choices were intentional and part of a larger body of work that parodies the popular songs of knights and warriors. The author argues that some of his poems make use of elements of medieval epic poetry and Latin hymns. The author concludes by suggesting that Croceâs unconventional approach to poetry may have sought to highlight the absurdity of the heroic tales of his time and to create a new kind of poetry that was more suited to the common people.
