About this book
Shorter than his three-volume history of English prosody, this manual by George Saintsbury was meant to introduce the subject and to serve as a handbook as well as a history. The preface explains why he did not write a school primer: a subject so open to dispute suffers when set out in short, flat statements.
Saintsbury had been professor of rhetoric and English literature at Edinburgh. The text scans verse with marks for stress and length over the syllables.
