Originally published in 1903. Samuel Edward Winbolt (1868-1944)
spent his entire working life from 1892 to 1926 teaching classics
at his old school, Christ's Hospital. In his later years, he was
best known for his work on Romano-British history and archaeology;
but Latin Hexameter Verse, published in 1903, is the book by which
he deserves to be remembered and which has earned him his place in
the history of classical scholarship. Its subtitle and its stated
aim of offering 'help to fifth and sixth forms, and undergraduates
at universities' belie its true and continuing importance.
Winbolt's detailed, sensitive and copiously illustrated analysis of
the technique of Latin verse-writing still provides the most
accessible and illuminating guide to a just appreciation of the
craftsmanship which went to the formation of the Latin hexameter, '
the stateliest measure ever moulded by the lips of man'.
