Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the development of the hephthemimeral pause, a pause after the seventh half-foot in a dactylic hexameter line, in Latin poetry. While the Greek epic poets employed this pause infrequently, Roman poets favored it heavily, especially in the Augustan period. The author presents a detailed examination of the frequency and distribution of this pause in the works of Latin poets from Lucretius to Claudian, tracing its evolution from a metrical device to a rhetorical tool employed to convey emphasis, sentence structure, and emotional depth. The book sheds light on the changing aesthetics of Latin verse and the influence of rhetorical practices on poetic expression, highlighting the hephthemimeral pause as a significant element in understanding the development of Latin poetry. 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 9781331903475_0
