Dr Scott argues that only by attending to the precise locations of
words in line or stanza, and to the specific value of syllables, or
by understanding the often conflicting demands of rhythm and metre,
can the reader of poetry acquire a real grasp of the intimate life
of words in verse with all their fluctuations of meaning, mood and
tone. The analyses through which the book pursues its argument
address two principal concerns: the way in which syllabic position
projects words and colours their complicated and challenged by the
relationship of rhythm to metre.
