Sound, Sense, and Rhythm

Description:

"Sound, Sense, and Rhythm concerns the way we read - or rather, imagine we are listening to - ancient Greek and Latin poetry. Through clear and penetrating analysis Mark Edwards shows how an understanding of the effects of word order and meter is vital for appreciating the meaning of classical poetry, composed for listening audiences."--BOOK JACKET.
