Book Description
This title was first published in 2002. A comprehensive survey of Restoration and 18th-century writings on metre and poetic form. The study focuses mainly on the debates caused by the perceived differences between the couplet and blank verse, and provides a survey of the techniques and findings of our 17th- and 18th-century precursors. The volume discusses 16th- and early 17th-century writings on metre as the background to the 18th-century debates; the conflicting and often confusing theories forwarded by later 17th- and 18th-century critics; the contributions of the Prescriptive and Elocutionist critics; and rhyme and blank verse.
