This 1980 book is designed to help university students to master
the technicalities and techniques of French verse. The author
assumes that part of the difficulty encountered by readers derives
from the need to approach French verse through English verse; this
book undertakes, therefore, a differentiation of the two verse
traditions. Dr Scott's concern is to provide the groundwork of a
terminology, to discuss the origins and implications of that
terminology, and to show how terminological knowledge can be
translated into critical speculation about poetry. After three
chapters which establish the essential features of the French line
of verse and outline the difficulties the student is likely to
encounter in trying to describe it and deal with it, the book moves
on to consider rhyme, stanzas, verse forms and free verse.
