Excerpt from Repetition and Parallelism in English Verse: A Study in the Technique of Poetry
Our rhetorics, in other words, have been constructed from a study of prose, whereas the devices permissible to poetry have been almost wholly overlooked.* It is my purpose in the following pages to direct attention to two structural peculiarities, occurring chiefly in lyric poetry, that seem to me to be deserving of much more generous recognition than has hitherto been accorded them. The rhet otics, it is true, usually devote several paragraphs to repetition and parallelism, the latter being treated under the head of the balanced sentence, but it is to be Observed that the functions of repetition and parallelism are widely different in prose and verse.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the use of repetition and parallelism in English verse, focusing specifically on the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Algernon Charles Swinburne. Unlike prose, where repetition is used for emphasis, in verse, it serves primarily to enhance melody, rhythm, and structure. The author traces the historical evolution of these devices, from their roots in classical Greek poetry to their adoption by English poets. The book reveals the distinct functions of repetition and parallelism in shaping the poetic form, creating unique effects, and conveying subtle meanings. By examining the works of Poe and Swinburne, the author demonstrates how these poets masterfully employed these techniques to achieve haunting melodies, evocative imagery, and unforgettable emotional impact. This insightful analysis provides a fresh perspective on the subtleties and complexities of English verse, offering valuable insights for students, scholars, and lovers of poetry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331121114_0
