About this book
English verse, from its oldest forms to those of modern poets, is covered in this handbook by Jakob Schipper, professor of English philology at the University of Vienna. It is an English version of his Grundriss der englischen Metrik, itself an abridgement of his three-volume Englische Metrik. Book I arranges the kinds of verse, and Book II the varieties of stanza, with many examples marked for rhythm and stress. The Oxford edition dates from 1910.
