This book presents a detailed look into the formal aspects of English verse, particularly the often overlooked structural elements of repetition and parallelism. The author argues that these techniques are essential to the creation of rhythm and unity in poetry, and deserve more attention than they have received from scholars. The book provides numerous examples of repetition and parallelism from a wide range of English poets, including Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson, and Swinburne. The author also examines the influence of repetition and parallelism on the development of English verse, tracing its roots in Greek and Finnish poetry. The book's insights offer a fresh perspective on the art of poetry and will be of great interest to students, scholars, and lovers of poetry.
