In this study, I have read a large amount of poetry and have studied several books on prosody, the most influential of which was Poetic Meter and Poetic Form by Paul Fussell. This splendid book increased vastly my knowledge of poetry. and through it and other books, I became a much more sensitive, intelligent reader of poems. The problem with my study came when I tried to decide how to in­ corporate what I had learned into a scholarly paper, for it seemed that any attempt.to do so would result in the mere parroting of the words of Paul Fussell and others.

It was a part of the book Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There, a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The poem is a narrative, or story, told by the annoying twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The GeoStory "The Walrus and the Carpenter . And National Geographic", above, provides the entire text of the poem. It also includes a walk through the poem, with an image and map accompanying each stanza, and in many cases individual lines. The images are either literal representations or metaphors of a line in the stanza. Use the GeoStory to better understand metaphors and other literary devices. Metaphors are figures of speech or visual representations in which a term is applied to something it could not possibly be. "Students have an appetite for learning," for example, is a metaphor. Students don't actually have an appetite for anything except food! Carroll uses a number of other literary devices in "The Walrus and the Carpenter." A series of possible discussion questions about the literary devices used in the poem is provided in the following tab, "Questions." The discussion topics progress from the simplest to the most difficult.

  • Notes on Prosody
    Notes on Middle English Prosody Dr. A Mitchell Sound and Sense Middle English poets typically delight in the accidental harmonies and disharmonies of verbal sounds. Sometimes sound is deliberately made to echoe sense, but more often accoustic patterns do not serve a referential or mimetic function. Syncopated rhythm may just be pleasurable to hear in the voice; variation may aid expressiveness or enhance interest; or sounds may be affective or mnemonic. Sound patterns also function as a sign of the poet’s pedigree, affiliations, or tastes. But in any event critics can probably make only modest claims about the significance of acoustic effects in the vernacular – some measure of irregularity is just a natural consequence of writing in Middle English. Rhyme is the most familiar sound pattern, and it basically demands that the poetic composition be oriented around the music (not the other way around). As a result, the semantic may be subordinated to the sonic or phonetic: e.g., syntax is inverted or contorted so as to get the proper rhyme in place; rhyme words are chosen less for sense than for sound. But of course rhymes may also produce interesting semantic juxtapositions or recapitulations, and occasionally Chaucer among others uses rhyme deftly to produce harmony and discordance, parallelism and antithesis. The main types of rhyme are the following. • end rhyme (most common) • internal rhyme (within a line) • masculine (single-sllable, or when final stressed syllable rhymes as in cat/hat) • feminine (rhymed stressed syllable followed by unstressed as in butter/clutter) • exact rhyme and rime riche (on the same sounds) • near rhyme (not a failed rhyme, it has the salutary effect of avoiding monotony) You will recognize these additional sound effects: • onomatapoia • assonance • alliteration • consonance Metrics: Alliterative and Accentual-Syllabic Some Medieval English verse is alliterative (that of Langland and the so-called poems of the Alliterative Revival), but much is what we call accentual-syllabic.

  • 1. Alliteration, Consonance and Assonance 2. Allusion 3. Analogy 4. Apostrophe
    A Few Literary and Poetic Devices: (words underlined in bold represent “figurative” language) 1. Alliteration, consonance and assonance • The repetition of sounds where consonance uses consonants and assonance uses vowels Ex. From “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.” 2. Allusion • a literary device in which an author uses subject matter refer to an event, place, or other work – usually not directly stated • An indirect reference to a piece of knowledge not explicitly mentioned in the text, e.g. “Chocolate was her Achilles Heel” Ex. When Nature sleeps and stars are mute, To mar the silence ev’n with lute. At rest on ocean’s brilliant dyes An image of Elysium lies:” 3. Analogy • A literary device that creates a relationship based on parallels or connections between two ideas. By establishing this relationship, the new idea is introduced through a familiar comparison, thus making the new concept easier to grasp. Analogy is more extensive and elaborate than either a simile or a metaphor. Ex. From Romeo and Juliet “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,” 4. Apostrophe • An apostrophe used in literature is an arrangement of words addressing a non-existent person or an abstract idea in such a way as if it were present and capable of understanding feelings.

  • Angharat Goch Verch Gwenhover Introduction to Alliterative Verse
    Angharat Goch verch Gwenhover Introduction to Alliterative Verse Old English Alliterative Verse History Old English alliterative verse, also called ‘Anglo-Saxon verse’, is the poetic form that dominated Old English secular literature; the insular tradition has its roots in continental Germanic poetry of the Dark Ages, which was a purely oral tradition of epic poetry concerned mainly with Germanic and Scandinavian battle lore, legend and folk-history. The Angles, Saxons and other Germanic peoples who invaded and settled Britain brought this Heroic Age poetry with them to the islands, where it flourished throughout the Old English period until the Norman Conquest of England. Alliteration Alliteration is a way of linking words through repetition of sound: in Modern English, this typically means alliterating words begin with the same consonant, consonant cluster, or vowel-sound, but this definition does not hold true for all periods of English poetry. In Anglo-Saxon verse, alliteration not only defines the structure of the poetic line, but functions as a mnemonic device to facilitate memorization – in a culture of oral tradition, this is an important feature. While poetry in Romance languages, such as French, used rhyme to the same ends, Germanic poetry focuses on the first syllable, not the last, when linking words with parallel sounds. This is due to the prosody of Germanic languages – their rhythm and stress. Germanic words are generally conjugated by adding suffixes to a root word, so that the first syllable carries the most meaning and is therefore where the emphasis is put in speech (think, FRIEND-ship, SING-ing, LOVE-ly).

  • To Old English Metre (Version 1.5, September 26Th 2016)
    1 A beginner’s guide (hopefully) to Old English metre (version 1.5, September 26th 2016) Alaric Hall and Sheryl McDonald1 1. Introduction When referring to poetic metre, we are referring to the structure of a poem’s rhythm. Metre has to do with things like the different degrees of emphasis (or stress) placed on the different words in a line of poetry, as well as the number of syllables that make up each poetic line. When we analyse the rhythm of poems in relation to their metre, we scan them: an analysis of poetic metre can also be referred to as scansion. You may already be familiar with the idea that much of Shakespeare’s poetry is in a type of metre called iambic pentameter; Old English poetry is just in a different type of metre with different rules, all of which will be explained in more detail in the sections that follow. Old English poetic metre is very different from most recent European traditions, and the details of how it works are still debated. The seminal research on Old English metre was undertaken by Eduard Sievers in the nineteenth century. Sievers made some great leaps and his ideas are still often repeated, but unfortunately they do not really explain how Old English poetry works. The present account is based on Thomas Cable, The English Alliterative Tradition (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1991). More recently, Thomas A. Bredehoft, Early English Metre (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2005) has argued for a different way of viewing things which does not contradict Cable’s system given here, but, he argues, does identify more fundamental rules for Old English metre.
