More about the book
The book presents a pioneering framework for understanding the unique rhythms of free verse poetry, emphasizing the importance of music and dance as foundational influences. Richard Andrews challenges traditional metrical analysis by proposing that the 'line' serves as a more appropriate unit of rhythm than the 'foot.' This comprehensive study delves into the structure and constitution of rhythmic patterns in unrhymed poetry, marking a significant departure from past approaches that focused solely on regular metre variations.
