More about the book
The book presents a pioneering system for understanding the irregular rhythms found in free verse poetry. Richard Andrews offers an in-depth analysis that shifts focus from traditional metrical variations to the influences of music and dance. He argues that while metrical verse relies on the 'foot' as its fundamental rhythm unit, free verse should be analyzed using the 'line' as its primary unit. This comprehensive study aims to redefine how readers and scholars perceive the structure and patterns inherent in unrhymed poetry.
