| Sommario/riassunto: | Versification: A Short Introduction is written by one of Australia's most distinguished poets. The book discusses poetic meter, and may be the only source you need. McAuley devotes a short chapter to versification based on accent, syllable count, free verse and ""classical"" meters, but the book as a whole focuses on metrical verse and its constant reference back to stress in normal speech - it succeeds in showing metrical verse as a natural outgrowth of what we do naturally. |
