- Classical Greek and Latin Studies
A clear, authoritative guide to Latin prosody and metre, drawn from the best authorities of ancient and modern scholarship.
Perfect for students and teachers alike.
This edition presents a thorough introduction to the theory and practice of Latin verse. It covers the quantity of syllables, the classification of vowels and consonants, and the rules that govern long and short sounds in poetry. The text explains how prosodial rules arise from careful study of Latin poets, and it includes many practical notes and examples to help readers apply the principles to real verses. Rich in historical context and cross-references to related works, this volume aims to provide both a solid foundation and detailed guidance for the student’s evolving study of Latin metre.What you’ll experience
- A structured, classroom-friendly treatment of Latin prosody, from basic concepts to advanced rules
- Explanations of syllable quantity, accents, and the role of vowels and consonants in metre
- Step-by-step discussion of topics like elision, syncope, and various figures of prosody
- Illustrative notes and examples drawn from classical authors to show rules in action
