Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new account of Victorian poetry and its place in the field of literary studies. The Burden of Rhyme shows how the nineteenth-century search for the origin of rhyme shaped the theory and practice of poetry. For Victorians, rhyme was not (as it was for the New Critics, and as it still is for us) a mere technique or ahistorical form. Instead, it carried vivid historical fantasies derived from early studies of world literature. Naomi Levine argues that rhyme’s association with the advent of literary modernity and with a repertoire of medievalist, Italophilic, and orientalist myths about love, loss, and poetic longing made it a sensitive historiographic instrument. Victorian poets used rhyme to theorize both literary history and the most elusive effects of aesthetic form. This Victorian formalism, which insisted on the significance of origins, was a precursor to and a challenge for twentieth-century methods. In uncovering the rich relationship between Victorian poetic forms and a forgotten style of literary-historical thought, The Burden of Rhyme reveals the unacknowledged influence of Victorian poetics—and its repudiation—on the development of modern literary criticism.

Book excerpt: "The Burden of Rhyme gives a new account of Victorian poetry and its place in the field of literary studies. A work of historical poetics, it shows how nineteenth-century notions about the origin of rhyme shaped the theory and practice of poetry in the period. For Victorians, rhyme was not (as it was for the New Critics) a mere technique or ahistorical form. Rather, Naomi Levine argues, it carried rich historical associations, harkening to a vividly imagined medieval past. Victorian poets thus had in rhyme a sensitive historiographic instrument, one they could use to activate ideas about love, loss, longing, poetry, and modernity. The Burden of Rhyme will appeal to readers of Alfred Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Morris, and even Ezra Pound, as well as scholars working in the history of criticism"--

Book excerpt: In this refreshing and inspiring book, Phil Roberts asserts that poetry, like music, is based on sound and so close attention should be paid to its rhythms and metrical patterns. He illustrates his points with lively examples ranging from nursery rhymes and limericks to recent experimental forms as well as familiar pieces from over the centuries. The book concludes with a Millennium Anthology, a salute to the poetry of the past thousand years, including pieces from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA.
