Synopsis
Explore how Anglo-Saxon verse is built and how it informs Modern English prosody. This work connects ancient rhythm to today’s English verse through careful analysis and evidence from early poetry.
This volume surveys competing ideas about how Anglo-Saxon poetry is formed and argues for a practical approach that ties its rhythm to Modern English metre. It situates the discussion within the broader study of English prosody, explains key metrical concepts, and uses actual poems to test theories. The author shows how the ancient rhythm mirrors the rhythm we recognize in later English poetry, while noting the unique features of the Anglo-Saxon period.
- How rhythm in Anglo-Saxon verse is marked by accents rather than fixed long and short sounds.
- The two-half-line structure, where a caesura divides the line and signals a pause.
- Patterns of arsis and thesis, including how lines may vary in how syllables carry stress.
- Examples from major works to illustrate how early poetry relates to later English metre.
Ideal for readers of linguistic history, poetry, and students of English prosody.
