A Question of Syllables: Essays in Nineteenth-Century French Verse - Cambridge Studies in French
Clive Scott
Dr Scott argues that only by attending to the precise locations of words in line or stanza, and to the specific value of syllables, or by understanding the often conflicting demands of rhythm and metre, can the reader of poetry acquire a real grasp of the intimate life of words in verse with all their fluctuations of meaning, mood and tone.
