More than the persistent beat of a song or the structural frame of
poetry, rhythm is a deeply imbedded force that drives our world and
is also a central component of the condition of human existence.
It's the pulse of the body, a power that orders matter, a strange
and natural force that flows through us. Virginia Woolf describes
it as a "wave in the mind" that carries us, something we can no
more escape than we could stop our hearts from beating. Vincent
Barletta explores rhythm through three historical moments, each
addressing it as a phenomenon that transcends poetry, aesthetics,
and even temporality. He reveals rhythm to be a power that holds us
in place, dispossesses us, and shapes the foundations of our world.
In these moments, Barletta encounters rhythm as a primordial and
physical binding force that establishes order and form in the
ancient world, as the anatomy of lived experience in early modern
Europe, and as a subject of aesthetic and ethical questioning in
the twentieth century. A wide-ranging book covering a period
spanning two millennia and texts from over ten languages, Rhythm
will expand the conversation around this complex and powerful
phenomenon.
