Reviews
"Discussions of Homeric metrics and formulas come nowhere near the helping of the oral reader....This book is an exception. Not only does Vivante recommend oral reading, but he delivers a profound analysis of the Homeric poem's core rhythms in such a way that today's oral interpreter can benefit....the book will be useful to all students of poetry in any language." Phi Beta Kappa Newsletter, "In addition to chapters on rhythm and meter, order of words, enjambment, and time and verse, in which Vivante systematically examines with critical insight a large number of Homeric verses in order to explain his theory of rhythm, there is a chapter on Apollonius Rhodius, a conclusion, and a valuable bibliographical essay which summarizes the work of the leading scholars of Homeric verse and versification."

Synopsis
In a follow-up to his previous Homeric studies, noted classicist Paolo Vivante explores Homer's verse, highlighting rhythm rather than metre. Rhythmical qualities, he argues, constitute the force of the verse--for example, in the way the words take position and in the way each pause hints suspense, producing an immediate sense of time. Vivante's main concern is not with the techniques or rules of the verse-composition, but more philosophically with verse itself as a fundamental form of human expression. This study will be of interest to both students and scholars.

    Shipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!

    I received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.
