A Brief Abstract of a New English Prosody Based Upon the Laws of English Rhythm is a book written by Mark Harvey Liddell in 1914. The book presents a new approach to English prosody, which is the study of the patterns of rhythm and sound in poetry. Liddell argues that English poetry should be based on the laws of English rhythm, rather than the rules of classical prosody. He proposes a system of meter that is based on the natural stress patterns of English words, rather than on the number of syllables or the position of accents. The book includes examples of poetry written in this new system of prosody, as well as a detailed explanation of the principles behind it. Liddell's work was influential in the development of modern English poetry, and his ideas continue to be studied and debated by scholars and poets today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
