Rezensionen

"This is a text that will work: Hartman's experience as a teacher is everywhere in evidence, and his care and inventiveness in presenting key concepts make the complexities of metrical analysis far more accessible than most similar texts .... I have great admiration for this text and have learned a lot from it; my students will learn even more." --Malcolm Woodland, University of Toronto

"It combines a high level of literary scholarship with a practitioner's awareness and a ready-friendly style."-- Neil Roberts, Sheffield University
