Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Metrists For the benefit of reviewers, let me add that my interest in this subject did not begin yesterday, and need not be supposed due to recent publications, such as Mr. Stones essay(1898) or Mr. McKerrow´s study (1901-2).The former I hailed with delight when it appeared, but differ profoundly from its conclusions. To the latter I owe the identification of "F.S." with Francis Sabie (p. 23), and my knowledge of twelve lines by "L.G" (p. 30). Except where specified, I am not aware of having borrowed from these or other treatises; my facts and views (for what they may be worth) are derived from my own reading. This impression is printed mainly for private distribution, but any one desiring a copy can obtain it by forwarding nineteenpence (one penny for postage) to my publisher. The demand is not likely to exceed the supply. T. S. Omond. 14, Calverley Park, Tunbridge Wells. P. S. - My manuscript went to press in May last, though publication had to be delayed. This will explain the paucity of references to recent verse, particularly to that of Mr. Robert Bridges. It is indeed interesting to find such a writer revive the Classic heresy; and one may admire the skill and boldness, while predicting the futility, of his attempt. Even from his own standpoint, 1 must think that he departs from the purity of Mr. Stones rules, by letting accent sometimes override quantity; and, by adoption of colloquial´s lurrings, debases our already debilitated vocalisation. In at least one respect, however, his experiments easily transcend those of his many predecessors. No specimens of quantitative verse that I know of in English attain to anything like so high a level of poetry.
