''A History of English Prosody V2, From Shakespeare to Crabbe: From the Twelfth Century to the Present Day'' is a comprehensive work by George Saintsbury, originally published in 1908. The book explores the evolution of English prosody, or the study of poetic meter and rhythm, from its earliest roots in the 12th century to the present day. The second volume of the series covers the period from Shakespeare to Crabbe, focusing on the works of major poets such as Milton, Dryden, Pope, and Gray. Saintsbury provides detailed analysis and commentary on the various forms of poetic meter used during this period, including iambic pentameter, heroic couplets, and blank verse. He also examines the influence of foreign languages and literary traditions on English prosody, as well as the impact of social and cultural changes on poetic style. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of English poetry and the development of poetic forms and techniques.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
