Synopsis

Master English metre with clear, practical guidance and real‑world examples. This edition of The Elements of English Metre offers a practical introduction to the rules and rhythms that shape English verse and prose, helping readers understand how metre is built from feet, lines, and larger sections.

This book presents a straightforward framework for studying metre in language. It pairs concise explanations with concrete examples, showing how accents and syllables create even, measured patterns. You’ll learn how to read and mark lines, compare different feet, and see how cadence and pacing affect poetry and prose alike.


  • Learn the basic building blocks: feet, lines, and clauses, and how they form larger metre.

  • Explore how accent and quantity shape rhythm, with many illustrative examples.

  • See how to count accents in a line and how feet relate to each other in practice.

  • Discover practical methods for marking lines and analyzing verse, using real passages as examples.

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.
