Milton's Prosody - 2023 BHSU

Question

This book's third part includes a section “On Obsolete Mannerisms” that examines recession of accent, while its first part defends its use of the term “elision” to account for “supernumerary syllables.” For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this 1921 critical text whose author carried its ideas into a system of syllabic verse employed in such poems as “Poor Poll” (pahl) and The Testament of Beauty.

ANSWER: Milton's Prosody(, with a chapter on Accentual Verse and Notes) (by Robert Bridges)

[10e] Milton's Prosody is by Robert Bridges, whose “Neo-Miltonian syllabics” contrasted with the stress-timed “sprung rhythm” invented by this poet of “The Windhover,” whose poems were published by Bridges.

ANSWER: Gerard Manley Hopkins

[10m] Bridges claimed to have been “shamefully worsted” in a “frontal assault” on this 35-stanza Hopkins poem, which ends with the tongue-twisting line “Our hearts' charity's hearth's fire, our thoughts' chivalry's throng's Lord.”

ANSWER: “The Wreck of the Deutschland”
