In Language and Meter, Dieter Gunkel and Olav Hackstein unite
fifteen linguistic studies on a variety of poetic traditions,
including the Homeric epics, the hieratic hymns of the Rgveda, the
Gathas of the Avesta, early Latin and the Sabellic compositions,
Germanic alliterative verse, Insular Celtic court poetry, and
Tocharian metrical texts. The studies treat a broad range of
topics, including the prehistory of the hexameter, the nature of
Homeric formulae, the structure of Vedic verse, rhythm in the
Gathas, and the relationship between Germanic and Celtic poetic
traditions. The volume contributes to our understanding of the
relationship between language and poetic form, and how they change
over time.
