~ENG~New approaches on early English poetic culture from the perspective of meter and poetic style.
This volume develops G. R. Russom’s contributions to early English meter and style, including his fundamental reworkings and rethinkings of accepted and oft-repeated mantras, including his word-foot theory, concern for the late medieval context for alliterative meter, and the linguistics of punctuation and translation as applied to Old English texts. Ten eminent scholars from across the field take up Russom’s ideas to lead readers in new and exciting directions.
