This large-scale manual, rich in detail, exegesis and bibliography, provides guidelines for the analysis and appreciation of Hebrew verse. Topics include oral poetry, metre, parallelism and forms of the strophe and stanza. Sound patterns and imagery are also discussed. A lengthy chapter sets out a whole range of other poetic devices and the book closes with a set of worked examples of Hebrew poetry.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;26.Hebrew poetry, BiblicalHistory and criticismHebrew poetryHistory and criticismHebrew poetry, BiblicalHistory and criticism.Hebrew poetryHistory and criticism.892.4/11/09Watson Wilfred G.
