This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... RHYTHMICAL. ELEMENTS Syllables Rhythm as involved in poetry has been considered in the foregoing pages along general lines, but from this point onward the subject will be restricted to the single field of Latin. It is now in order to develop somewhat more fully a phase of the subject already touched upon, namely, the part played by syllables. The existence of syllables rests upon a natural basis. The voice can not convey a succession of thoughts except by being varied into different sounds, and these can not be sufficiently numerous and distinguishable for our needs except by the introduction of such as break or hinder the current of breath, producing a division into syllables. The poet's recognition and selection of syllables for the purposes of versification, far from being a highly artificial process, is mainly subconscious. His standard and criterion are not the dictionary, nor words sounded separately, but audible, fluent speech. And so it not infrequently happens that when one word is merged into another, the result is a syllable that embraces parts of two words. To read Latin poetry well, one must bring out distinctly the sound properties of the syllables, some of these properties being inherent in the separate syllables, some resulting from the effect one syllable has upon another. 6What, in detail, are these properties? A syllable comprises a vowel alone, a diphthong alone, or either in close union with one or more consonants. Latin vowels, according to the ancients, fell into three classes: (1) those of brief duration and therefore considered short, (2) those more extended in time and therefore considered long, and (3) those occurring in closely knit pairs, called diphthongs, the same being long. Consonants seemed to affect the...

Embracing the whole two-thousand-year corpus of Latin poetry, this book seeks to stimulate interest in the neglected art of reading aloud. It establishes a practical working pronunciation for Classical, Medieval and Renaissance Latin by means of a detailed analysis of the essential known facts, and it develops and explains a clear and practical system of phonetic notation, based upon the International Phonetic Alphabet. A substantial number of poems and extracts from all periods is offered for practice. Issues relevant to both quantitative and rhythmical prosody are fully discussed and translation notes are supplied to aid the student. Each poem is fully transcribed into phonetics and is accompanied by an English verse translation, whose main purpose is to reveal something of the literary quality of the verse. Two accompanying CDs aid pronunciation by giving the practice words found in the pronunciation sections and offering a complete reading of the poems.

Excerpt from The Quantitative Reading of Latin Poetry This pamphlet is published in accordance with a plan formed several years ago. Few pupils learn to read Latin poetry with ease and enjoyment. What ought to be a pleasure seldom rises above the dreary routine of a mechanical task. The writer feels justified by his own experience in asserting that something more than this much more in fact - is easily within the reach of all who will faithfully carry out the simple precepts laid down in the following pages. It is this conviction which has led to the publication of this little book. The rules for quantity, along with nearly all the definitions of the leading terms of metre and prosody, have designedly been omitted. These are easily accessi ble in any Latin grammar.

In The Space That Remains, Aaron Pelttari offers the first systematic study of the major fourth-century poets since Michael Robert's foundational The Jeweled Style. It is the first book to give equal attention to both Christian and Pagan poetry and the first to take seriously the issue of readership. As Pelttari shows, the period marked a turn towards forms of writing that privilege the reader's active involvement in shaping the meaning of the text. In the poetry of Ausonius, Claudian, and Prudentius we can see the increasing importance of distinctions between old and new, ancient and modern, forgotten and remembered. The strange traditionalism and verbalism of the day often concealed a desire for immediacy and presence. We can see these changes most clearly in the expectations placed upon readers. The space that remains is the space that the reader comes to inhabit, as would increasingly become the case in the literature of the Latin Middle Ages.

Excerpt from Helps to the Reading of Classical Latin Poetry That the vow viva has a vital part to play in the study of language, seems to call for little argument. The one is closely bound up in the other. In numberless ways sound is accommodated to sense; and this holds true alike of ancient and modern tongues. Moreover, the literatures of the Greeks and Romans have always been regarded as pree'minently human, hence called the humanities, which accords With the fact that they are permeated with ideas not merely well suited to vocal expression, but frequently such as can be fully conveyed only by means of the liv ing voice. In discussing the style of poets, Cicero went so far as to say Nonnulli eorum voluptati vocibus magis quam rebus inserviunt (orator, XX.

Of the peoples of ancient Italy, only the Romans committed newly composed poems to writing, and for about 250 years Latin-speakers developed an impressive verse literature. The language had traditional resources of high style, e.g. alliteration, lexical and morphological archaism or grecism, and of course metaphor and word-order; and there were also less obvious resources in the technical vocabularies of law, philosophy, and medicine. The essays in this volume show how the poets in the classical period combined these elements, and so created a poetic medium that could comprehend satire, invective, erotic elegy, drama, lyric, and the grandest heroic epics. These wide-ranging studies will be essential reading for all students of Latin.
