Embracing the whole two-thousand-year corpus of Latin poetry, this book seeks to stimulate interest in the neglected art of reading aloud. It establishes a practical working pronunciation for Classical, Medieval and Renaissance Latin by means of a detailed analysis of the essential known facts, and it develops and explains a clear and practical system of phonetic notation, based upon the International Phonetic Alphabet. A substantial number of poems and extracts from all periods is offered for practice. Issues relevant to both quantitative and rhythmical prosody are fully discussed and translation notes are supplied to aid the student. Each poem is fully transcribed into phonetics and is accompanied by an English verse translation, whose main purpose is to reveal something of the literary quality of the verse. Two accompanying CDs aid pronunciation by giving the practice words found in the pronunciation sections and offering a complete reading of the poems.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... RHYTHMICAL. ELEMENTS Syllables Rhythm as involved in poetry has been considered in the foregoing pages along general lines, but from this point onward the subject will be restricted to the single field of Latin. It is now in order to develop somewhat more fully a phase of the subject already touched upon, namely, the part played by syllables. The existence of syllables rests upon a natural basis. The voice can not convey a succession of thoughts except by being varied into different sounds, and these can not be sufficiently numerous and distinguishable for our needs except by the introduction of such as break or hinder the current of breath, producing a division into syllables. The poet's recognition and selection of syllables for the purposes of versification, far from being a highly artificial process, is mainly subconscious. His standard and criterion are not the dictionary, nor words sounded separately, but audible, fluent speech. And so it not infrequently happens that when one word is merged into another, the result is a syllable that embraces parts of two words. To read Latin poetry well, one must bring out distinctly the sound properties of the syllables, some of these properties being inherent in the separate syllables, some resulting from the effect one syllable has upon another. 6What, in detail, are these properties? A syllable comprises a vowel alone, a diphthong alone, or either in close union with one or more consonants. Latin vowels, according to the ancients, fell into three classes: (1) those of brief duration and therefore considered short, (2) those more extended in time and therefore considered long, and (3) those occurring in closely knit pairs, called diphthongs, the same being long. Consonants seemed to affect the...

Excerpt from The Quantitative Reading of Latin Poetry This pamphlet is published in accordance with a plan formed several years ago. Few pupils learn to read Latin poetry with ease and enjoyment. What ought to be a pleasure seldom rises above the dreary routine of a mechanical task. The writer feels justified by his own experience in asserting that something more than this much more in fact - is easily within the reach of all who will faithfully carry out the simple precepts laid down in the following pages. It is this conviction which has led to the publication of this little book. The rules for quantity, along with nearly all the definitions of the leading terms of metre and prosody, have designedly been omitted. These are easily accessi ble in any Latin grammar.

Latin is very much alive in the poetry written by the great Latin poets, and this book is about their poetry, their language, and their culture. Fitzgerald shows the reader with little or no knowledge of the Latin language how it works as a unique vehicle for poetic expression and thought. Moving between close analysis of particular Latin poems and more general discussions of Latin poets, literature, and society, Fitzgerald gives the un-Latined reader an insider'sview of how Latin poetry feels and what makes it worth reading today.

Praised in recent years as a “calculating, improvisatory, essential poet” by Daisy Fried in the New York Times, Charles Bernstein is a leading voice in American literary theory. Pitch of Poetry is his irreverent guide to modernist and contemporary poetics. Subjects range across Holocaust representation, Occupy Wall Street, and the figurative nature of abstract art. Detailed overviews of formally inventive work include essays on—or “pitches” for—a set of key poets, from Gertrude Stein and Robert Creeley to John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Larry Eigner, and Leslie Scalapino. Bernstein also reveals the formative ideas behind the magazine L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E. The final section, published here for the first time, is a sweeping work on the poetics of stigma, perversity, and disability that is rooted in the thinking of Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and William Blake. Pitch of Poetry makes an exhilarating case for what Bernstein calls echopoetics: a poetry of call and response, reason and imagination, disfiguration and refiguration.

With 6 starred reviews, 8 best of the year lists, and over 20 state award nominations, everyone is raving about Mirror Mirror! "Remarkable."—The Washington Post "This mind-bending poetry is accompanied by Masse's equally intelligent, equally amusing art."—Time Out New York for Kids What’s brewing when two favorites—poetry and fairy tales—are turned (literally) on their heads? It’s a revolutionary recipe: an infectious new genre of poetry and a lovably modern take on classic stories. First, read the poems forward (how old-fashioned!), then reverse the lines and read again to give familiar tales, from Sleeping Beauty to that Charming Prince, a delicious new spin. Witty, irreverent, and warm, this gorgeously illustrated and utterly unique offering holds a mirror up to language and fairy tales, and renews the fun and magic of both.

This is the first scholarly work to examine the cultural significance of the "talking book" since the invention of the phonograph in 1877, the earliest machine to enable the reproduction of the human voice. Recent advances in sound technology make this an opportune moment to reflect on the evolution of our reading practices since this remarkable invention. Some questions addressed by the collection include: How does auditory literature adapt printed texts? What skills in close listening are necessary for its reception? What are the social consequences of new listening technologies? In sum, the essays gathered together by this collection explore the extent to which the audiobook enables us not just to hear literature but to hear it in new ways. Bringing together a set of reflections on the enrichments and impoverishments of the reading experience brought about by developments in sound technology, this collection spans the earliest adaptations of printed texts into sound by Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, and other novelists from the late nineteenth century to recordings by contemporary figures such as Toni Morrison and Barack Obama at the turn of the twenty-first century. As the voices gathered here suggest, it is time to give a hearing to one of the most talked about new media of the past century.
