This book covers periods that vary from roughly a century to several hundred years, because the development of English metre has not proceeded uniformly either in time or in place. It provides teachers and students of English literature with historical account of how poets have versified in English.
... [a] groundbreaking study. Using the tools of current linguistic understanding of meter, [Duffell] presents a comprehensive, accessible history of how metrical forms in English have developed, from the beginning to the present.
