商品簡介
A Prosody of Free Verse sets out, for the first time, a comprehensive system for accounting for the irregular rhythms that characterize unrhymed and unmetrical poetry. While it has many antecedents, free verse established itself in the early twentieth century as a key form of expression in the arts, and continues to be one of the most well-used and exciting forms of poetry. In this groundbreaking study, Richard Andrews provides a detailed analysis of free verse in order to theorize how the rhythmic patterns that underlie it are constituted and structured. Whereas previous attempts have focused on variations on regular metre, this volume breaks away form that tradition and draws upon the two wellsprings of free verse: music and dance. The book also suggests that whereas the 'foot' is the basic unit of rhythm in metrical verse, the 'line' is the better unit for analysis in free verse.
Drawing on examples of free verse from across the world as well as throughout literary history,A Prosody of Free Verse explores rhythms that bear greater resemblance to jazz than to the principle of repetition that underpins much of Western music. Andrews’s study of free verse not only pushes the boundaries for describing rhythmic variation, but also considers the larger question of the place of rhythm in contemporary societies. Andrews also suggests ways that sensitivity to the rhythms of language can enrich the experience of reading, writing, and teaching poetry.
