Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the employment of classical metres, like those found in Greek and Latin, for English poetry. Efforts to bring these measures into the English language date back to the Renaissance, but no writer has yet succeeded in fully capturing their intricate interplay of quantity and rhythm within English phonology. The author argues that English accent is analogous to the pitch-based musicality of Greek accent, rather than the stress-based system of Latin accent, and should thus be central to any attempt at English classical-style poetry. This marks a significant departure from past attempts, most of which have relied on accentual or quantitative approaches alone. The author's close analysis, integration of insights from a diverse array of thinkers, and provision of numerous examples of varying degrees of success help clarify the challenges in producing English verse that adheres to classical Greek and Latin models. 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 9781331912071_0
