Despite meter's recasting as a rigid metronome, diverse modern
poet-critics refused the formal ideologies of free verse through
complex engagements with traditional versification. In the
twentieth century, meter became an object of disdain, reimagined as
an automated metronome to be transcended by new rhythmic practices
of free verse. Yet meter remained in the archives, poems, letters,
and pedagogy of modern poets and critics. In Modernism's Metronome,
Ben Glaser revisits early twentieth-century poetics to uncover a
wide range of metrical practice and theory, upending our inherited
story about the "breaking" of meter and rise of free verse.
