Product Description
Many of the great works of world literature are composed in metrical verse, that is, in lines which are measured and patterned. Meter in Poetry: A New Theory is the first book to present a single simple account of all known types of metrical verse, which is illustrated with detailed analyses of poems in many languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, French, classical Greek and Latin, Sanskrit, classical Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Latvian. This outstanding contribution to the study of meter is aimed both at students and scholars of literature and languages, as well as anyone interested in knowing how metrical verse is made.
Book Description
Meter in Poetry is the first book to offer a universal linguistic theory of poetic meter. Fabb and Halle outline the theory and then illustrate and defend it by presenting detailed metrical analyses of poems in many languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, classical Greek, French, Arabic, and Sanskrit.
