Georg Rudolf Weckherlin: The Embodiment of a Transitional Stage in German Metrics; Chapter I. German Metrics From Earliest Times to Opitz (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book charts the evolution of German poetry and metrics from the earliest Germanic poetry to the brink of the seventeenth century. The author focuses on the development of alternating techniques, with varying degrees of emphasis on natural word and sentence stress. The author follows the transition from rhythmically accentuating poetry to alternating techniques, which marked a shift in the role of accent and offered new possibilities for variation and expression. Particularly significant is the examination of German poetry of the 15th and 16th centuries, which saw a shift toward regular alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables, setting the stage for the metrical reform of the 17th century.
