Synopsis
Excerpt from English Verse-Structure: A Prefatory Study
So stated, the proposition may seem a mere truism. Yet note what is implied. It follows that in such a line the ear of a supreme master of English verse-music allowed him to fill up two out of the five periods of his metre with unaccented syllables, or, to speak more exactly, with unaccented syllables and with pauses. Such a fact is somewhat difficult to square with the usual definitions of our iambic verse. Not dwelling on this at present, let us next see how the recognition of periods may sometimes throw new light on the actual nature of a metre, and assist us in scanning it.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to English verse structure, offering a fresh perspective on the building blocks of rhythm in the language. The author argues that the fundamental unit of English verse is not the foot, but the period of time, and that accent, quantity, and pause are the three essential ingredients that shape this time period. The book explores the historical development of English verse, from its Anglo-Saxon origins to the free verse of the 20th century, and examines the work of major poets such as Tennyson, Browning, and Milton to illustrate the principles discussed. The book provides a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the intricacies of English verse.
