English Metrists, written by Thomas Stewart Omond and first published in 1903, is a comprehensive study of the history and development of English metrical verse. The book covers the period from the earliest Anglo-Saxon poetry to the late 19th century, and examines the various forms of English verse, including the ballad, the sonnet, and the epic. Omond explores the technical aspects of meter, rhyme, and rhythm, and provides detailed analyses of the works of major English poets such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth. The book also includes a glossary of technical terms and a bibliography of works on English versification. English Metrists is an important resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of English poetry, and remains a valuable reference work for scholars and students of literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
