Syntax in English Poetry, 1870-1930University of California Press, 1967 - 197 pages This inquiry restricts itself to syntax in poetry for two related reasons: 1) during the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth, literary scholars discussed word order only indirectly, in its relation to prosody, rhyme, scheme, and genre. 2) Studies of poetic language in the last 25 years have therefore been less concerned with the formal musical properties of verse than with diction. |
