The studies treat a broad range of topics, including the prehistory of the hexameter, the nature of Homeric formulae, the structure of Vedic verse, rhythm in the Gathas, and the relationship between Germanic and Celtic poetic traditions. The volume contributes to our understanding of the relationship between language and poetic form, and how they change over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olav Hackstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004357769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004357761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Olav Hackstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075253235967,"sku":"9789004357761","price":146.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d348a97-a845-4030-bf83-b37244b21379.jpg?v=1685458481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-and-meter-hackstein-9789004357761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
