An Analysis of George Saintsbury's "A History of English Prosody" [pre-print].

Abstract

This is a pre-print version of an article approved for publication in 'Language and Style: an International Journal', published by the City University of New York. The journal's editor states that Professor Daalder's "important article will certainly change the field of prosody for the better" and that this article re-establishes "George Saintsbury as a fundamental source for the study of the technical aspects of the prosody of English poetry." The editor considers this to be a welcome addition to studies of prosody, and says it is "a major contribution to linguistics and literary criticism."
