Synopsis

Introduction to the Rhythmic and Metric of the Classical Languages is a scholarly work written by Johann Hermann Heinrich Schmidt and originally published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive guide to the rhythmic and metric principles of the classical languages, namely Greek and Latin. The book is divided into three main parts. The first part provides an overview of the basic principles of rhythm and meter, as well as an introduction to the various types of verse forms used in classical poetry. The second part focuses on the specific features of Greek and Latin meter, including the different types of feet and the rules for combining them into lines of verse. The third part explores the use of meter in classical poetry, including the ways in which poets used meter to create meaning and effect.Throughout the book, Schmidt provides numerous examples of classical poetry, both in the original language and in translation, to illustrate the various principles he discusses. He also includes exercises for readers to practice analyzing and scanning classical verse.Introduction to the Rhythmic and Metric of the Classical Languages is a valuable resource for scholars and students of classical literature, as well as anyone interested in the mechanics of poetry and the history of language. It remains an important work in the field of classical studies and continues to be referenced and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
