Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the origins of medieval Latin rhythmic poetry back to its origins in the transformation of classical Latin verse. The author analyzes documents of the third and fourth centuries, such as the hymns of St. Ambrose and St. Augustine, as well as contemporary Greek poetry to examine how the conventions of classical poetryâ"based on quantitative meterâ"began to give way to accentual rhythm. The author argues that this shift was part of a larger cultural transformation, as Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire and brought with it new forms of musical worship. This book is essential reading for scholars of medieval literature and anyone interested in the evolution of language and poetic form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
