Excerpt from English Verse-Structure: A Prefatory StudyIN a recently published pamphlet, ' an attempt was made to indicate the lines on which a truly English hexameter, following the rules and methods of our native verse, might yet be written. And incidentally it was suggested that the period of time, rather than either the foot or the accent, should be regarded as the unit of English verse. The present paper seeks to develop this latter idea, and exemplify the merits or demerits of its application to metrical questions, having regard always to the absolute facts of English prosody, and proceed ing as far as possible by analysis of actual lines, rather than by dogmatic statement of preconceived theory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
