"Metre, Rhythm, Free Verse" is designed to explain the most
important component of verse--its sound. This book provides all of
the tools necessary to understanding poetry and poetry criticism,
while clarifying and making accessible a number of technical terms
which could otherwise be both intimidating and confusing.
In a manner which is both unpretentious and enthusiastic, Philip
Hosbaum defines the difference between metre and rhythm, and
provides newer and more precise definitions for terms such as blank
verse, sprung verse and free verse. From the bob-wheel stanza to
the iambus, from the Spenserian sonnet to modern rap, this
comprehensive yet succinct volume covers the many terms and ideas
which are essential to a fuller appreciation of poetry. In addition
to providing this indispensable foundation for further reading,
"Metre, Rhythm, Free Verse" also introduces its readers to a
selection of key poets from all ages. Awelcome remedy to the
complexity of poetical terminology, this book proves an invaluable
introduction and an essential guide.
