Blank Verse

by John Addington Symonds

Blank Verse is a book of literary criticism written by John Addington Symonds and first published in 1895. The book explores the history and development of blank verse, a form of poetry that does not rhyme but follows a strict meter. Symonds examines the works of English poets such as Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, as well as the influence of Italian and Greek poetry on the form. He also discusses the use of blank verse in contemporary literature and its potential for future development. Throughout the book, Symonds provides detailed analysis and examples of blank verse, making it an essential resource for students and scholars of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
