Book Description

Excerpt from A Handbook of Antique Prose-Rhythm, Vol. 1: History of Greek Prose-Metre: Demosthenes, Plato, Philo, Plutarch and Others; Bibliography, Curves, Index Of one thing I am firmly convinced, viz. That only with this method, that is either with mine or a similar one, at any rate with a method of comparison, reliable results can be obtained. I am also convinced that Zielinski quite wrongly looks upon his statistical basis as 'felsen fest', and that, if the science of antique prose-rhythm is to lay claim to this name, it will have to change the usual method of investigation altogether.
