A History of English Versification is a scholarly work written by Jakob Schipper in 1910. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the development of English poetry and its various forms of versification from the earliest times to the early 20th century. Schipper explores the evolution of English verse, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day, examining the various techniques and structures used by poets throughout history. He discusses the origins of English poetry, the influence of Latin and French poetry, and the emergence of new forms such as the sonnet, blank verse, and free verse. Schipper also provides a detailed analysis of the work of major English poets, including Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English poetry and the development of poetic forms. It is written in a scholarly style and includes extensive footnotes and references to primary sources.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
