Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The book studies the use of rhythm and sound in shaping prose, from the development of prose rhythm in Classical Latin to the rich variety of rhythms to be found in English prose. The author explores the ways in which some of the most distinctive prose effects have been created and identifies rules and forms which may be found in apparently irregular prose. Through the analysis of examples taken from across a range of periods and styles, the book offers insights into the essential nature of prose, and the place of rhythm and sound in its texture. The book shows that prose is amenable to the same kind of analysis that has proved fruitful in the study of verse, and argues that many of the effects of prose rhythm have a universal appeal that can be identified and appreciated from outside the narrow confines of the language in which they were written. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331551461_0
