This book traces the development of hypermetric verse in Old
English and compares it to the cognate traditions of Old Norse and
Old Saxon. The study illustrates the inherent flexibility of the
hypermetric line and shows how poets were able to manipulate this
flexibility in different contexts for different practical and
rhetorical purposes. This mode of analysis is therefore able to
show what degree of control the poets had over the traditional
alliterative line, what effects they were able to produce with
various stylistic choices, and how attention to poetic style can
aid in literary analysis.
