Eric Weiskott deposited Quantity in the Alliterative Tradition in the group
GS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 8 years, 7 months agoQuantity matters in the meter of Beowulf and other early English poems. It matters in the form of a metrical principle known as resolution. Metrical resolution served alliterative poets as a way of counting; it can serve modern scholars as evidence for the cultural meanings of verse craft. This paper therefore has two sections: How it Works and…[Read more]
