Before, during and after the preparation of Classical Hebrew
Poetry: A Guide to its Techniques, Wilfred Watson published several
articles on Hebrew poetry in a wide range of periodicals. The
present volume collects together the most significant of these
writings, including a chapter from a book on chiasmus, as well as a
few unpublished items. After an opening survey of current work on
Hebrew verse the articles cover the following topics: parallelism
(including half-line parallelism, previously almost unnoticed),
antithesis, word pairs, chiasmus, figurative language and
introductions to speech in verse. The last section deals with
structural devices and a folktale motif in narrative verse,
hyperbole, apostrophe and alliteration. Previously unpublished
items are on the contribution of ethnopoetics, from the study of
Native American literature to Hebrew narrative verse (a new topic
in biblical studies), parallelism in the Song of Songs and a
metaphor in Jeremiah. This anthology is intended as a companion
volume to Classical Hebrew Poetry. It includes additions and
corrections to that book and there are also several indices.>
