A Study Of Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162650425)

A Study of Poetry by Bliss Perry is a comprehensive guide to the study and analysis of poetry. The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different aspect of poetry. The first part focuses on the nature and function of poetry, exploring its different forms and genres, as well as its relationship to other forms of literature. The second part of the book delves into the technical aspects of poetry, including meter, rhyme, and imagery. The final section of the book examines the historical and cultural context of poetry, looking at the ways in which poets have responded to their social and political environments. Throughout the book, Perry draws on examples from a wide range of poets and literary traditions, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the art of poetry. Written in a clear and accessible style, A Study of Poetry is an essential resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and appreciation of this rich and complex art form.If all the various forms of rhyme are only different ways of emphasizing rhythm through the repetition of accordant sounds, it follows that the varying rhythmical impulses of poets and of readers will demand now a greater and now a less dependence upon this particular mode of rhythmical satisfaction. Chaucer complained of the scarcity of rhymes in English as compared with their affluence in Old French, and it is true that rhyming is harder in our tongue than in the Romance languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
