Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Prose Rhythm The work which I am now attempting, and which was, in an indirect fashion, promised or aspired to in the History of English Prosody (iii. 20 and elsewhere), may be said to be a carrying out of lines laid down a good deal earlier than those of the History of Prosody itself. It is now some six and thirty years since Lord Morley of Blackburn, then editor of the Fortnightly Review, after most kindly honouring a draft at sight which I had drawn upon him, uninvited and unintroduced, in the shape of a paper on Charles Baudelaire, asked me to write something else on "English Prose Style," a matter on which, though always interested in it from the time when, as a mere boy, I read De Quincey, I had never yet formulated any very precise ideas. About this time, or shortly after, I came into abundant practice as a reviewer, and had to keep the subject before me; while, some years later still, the late Mr. Kegan Paul asked me to deal still more elaborately with it in the Preface to a collection of Extracts. By this time I had systematised my ideas on the subject to some not inconsiderable extent, and the idea of formal scansion of English prose (if I had known of Bishop Hurd's attempts I certainly had forgotten all about them) first regularly suggested itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prose Rhythm in English The suggestions which I venture to put forward in this lecture occurred to me recently while I was reading Saintsbury's History of English Prose Rhythm. I realize that I am guilty of temerity in writing upon a subject which lies outside the range of my usual work, and can only excuse myself by saying that I have studied similar phenomena in ancient and mediaeval prose. Some three years ago I published a paper upon the mediaeval cursus, which contained a brief introduction to the study of numerous prose. Since, however, I cannot hope that more than a few of my listeners may have seen this, I must begin by repeating a few points. For the origin of prose rhythm we must go to Cicero. Nature, he tells us, has placed in the cars a register which tells us if a rhythm is good or bad, just as by the same means we are enabled to distinguish notes in music. Men first observed that particular sounds gave pleasure to the ear, then they repeated them for this end. Thus, practice came first and was succeeded by theory. The rhythm of prose is based on the same principle as that of verse. This in ancient prose was the distribution of long and short syllables; in our own longue it is the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables. The difference between the rhythms of prose and verse is said to be one of degree. In verse the metre is constant and unbroken, in prose the measures are loose and irregular. In this respect prose is said to resemble lyric poetry, a very suggestive remark. The theory of ancient writers is, that the whole sentence is pervaded or 'winged' by rhythm, or 'number', but that this number is most noticeable in the cadence, or clausula. The sentence is termed period, and its parts arc called commala and cola. There is a cadence at the end of the colon, and to a less extent at the end of the comma, similar to that at the end of the period. Whenever the speaker paused to draw fresh breath, he punctuated by a numerus, or cadence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
