Metre, Rhythm and Verse Form Hardcover - 1995 - 1st Edition

by Philip Hobsbaum; John Drakakis (Editor)


From the publisher

Poetry criticism is a subject central to the study of literature. However, it is laden with technical terms that, to the beginning student, can be both intimidating and confusing. Philip Hobsbaum provides a welcome remedy, illuminating terms ranging from the iambus to the bob-wheel stanza, and forms from the Spenserian sonnet to modern 'rap', with clarity and comprehensiveness. It is an essential guide through the terminology which will be invaluable reading for undergraduates new to the subject.

Hardback. New. An approach to poetry which explains technical terms such as iambic pentameter and syllabics, this text also defines verse metres such as blank verse and free verse; illustrates a variety of forms, from the sonnet to the freer modes favoured by contemporary writers; and explains something of the methodology employed by poets of various periods.
