Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the development of French verse since the 12th century, tracing the origins of the accentual system in popular Latin verse, through its establishment as the model for French versification in the Middle Ages, and its transformation into a syllabic system. The author examines the dissatisfaction with syllabism that led to the development of vers libre in the late 19th century, showing how it is a return to the foot system of versication, and discussing the principles of rhythm and meter that underlie this new form of verse. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of French versification, offering insights into the aesthetic, philosophical, and linguistic underpinnings of French poetry.
