Rhythms of English Poetry, the Paperback / softback
by Derek Attridge
Part of the English Language Series series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Examines the way in which poetry in English makes use of rhythm.
The author argues that there are three major influences which determine the verse-forms used in any language: the natural rhythm of the spoken language itself; the properties of rhythmic form; and the metrical conventions which have grown up within the literary tradition.
He investigates these in order to explain the forms of English verse, and to show how rhythm and metre work as an essential part of the reader's experience of poetry.
