Description - A History Of English Rhythms (1882) by Edwin Guest

The book delves into the evolution of meter, rhyme, and other aspects of poetic form, examining the influences of classical and other languages and cultures on English verse. Guest also analyzes the works of notable poets throughout history, including Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, among others.
