To make sense of free verseâ€‌ in theory or in practice, the whole study of prosody—the function of rhythm in poetry—must be revised and rethought. Stating this as the issue that poets and critics have faced in the past century, Charles Hartman takes up the challenge and develops a theory of prosody that includes the most characteristic forms of twentieth-century poetry.
