Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a scientific approach to the study of verse, examining how sound is used in poetry using methods from natural science. The author argues that verse should be studied directly, as it sounds when spoken and heard, rather than through the written word. The methods outlined in this book, developed by the author, use apparatus developed specifically to record and analyze the sound waves produced in speech. These techniques allow for the detailed examination of the fundamental elements of speech, including tone, duration, and amplitude. Through their application, the author presents new insights into how these elements combine and change to create the patterns of sound we recognize as verse. These insights ultimately offer a more profound understanding of how language is used to create poetic expression.
