Excerpt from Chapters on English Metre Comparison of Milton, Tennyson and Browning in regard to the position of the pauses, the use of the feminine ending, and the substitution of other feet for the iamb. A favourite effect of Tennyson's is where the word ends on the short syllable of the iamb, giving a general trochaic or feminine rhythm. Double trochee occurs occasionally in Tennyson, and often in Browning. Examples of trisyllabic feet, tribrach as well as anapaest and dactyl. Peculiar effect of pause after inverted accent. Appropriateness of rhythm to the thought. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
