In doing so, it contributes to the theory of prosody, our understanding of respiration and looking, and, in sum, to the particular links, across the board, between the human characteristics of bipedal walking and meaningful talk. The author first introduces the philosophical, neurological, anthropological, and aesthetic aspects of the subject in historical perspective, then focuses on rhetoric and introduces a tension between the small and large issues of rhythm. He thereupon turns his attention to the roles of breathing in poetry--as a life-and-death matter, with attention to beats and walking poems. This opens onto technical concepts from the classical traditions of rhetoric and philology. Turning to the relationship between prosody and motion, he considers both animals and human beings as both ostensibly able-bodied creatures and presumptively disabled ones. Finally, he looks at dancing and writing as aspects of walking and talking, with special attention to motion in Arabic and Chinese calligraphy. The final chapters of the book provide a series of interrelated representative case studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aVerbal arts--studies in poetics. 606 $aPoetics 606 $aRhythm in literature 606 $aWalking in literature 606 $aEnglish language$xVersification 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPoetics. 615 0$aRhythm in literature. 615 0$aWalking in literature. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVersification. 676 $a808.1 700 $aShell$b Marc$0125461 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460907303321 996 $aTalking the walk & walking the talk$92473152 997 $aUNINA
