Elements of English Versification is a comprehensive guide to the principles of poetic composition in the English language. Written by James Wilson Bright, a professor of English at Johns Hopkins University, this book provides a detailed analysis of the various elements of verse, including rhythm, meter, rhyme, and stanza form. The book begins with an overview of the history of English poetry and the development of different poetic forms. It then delves into the technical aspects of versification, explaining the different types of meter and the rules of scansion. In addition to discussing traditional forms of verse, such as sonnets and ballads, the book also explores modernist and experimental poetry. It provides examples of different poetic styles and techniques, and offers guidance on how to use these techniques effectively in one's own writing. Throughout the book, Bright emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between form and content in poetry. He argues that a poet must have a deep understanding of the technical aspects of verse in order to create works that are both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually engaging. Overall, Elements of English Versification is an essential guide for anyone interested in the art of poetry, whether as a reader or a writer. It provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the principles of poetic composition in the English language, and offers valuable insights into the creative process of writing poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
