Blank verse : a guide to its history and use

With its compact but inclusive survey of more than four centuries of poetry, Blank Verse is filled with practical advice for poets of our own day who may wish to attempt the form or enhance their mastery of it. Enriched with numerous examples, Shaw's discussions of verse technique are lively and accessible, inviting not only to apprentice poets but to all readers of poetry. --PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION
