| Zusammenfassung: | This 1998 book is a clear and accessible account of early Germanic alliterative verse which explains how such verse was treated by the Beowulf poet. There are differences of poetic style between Beowulf and the otherwise similar verse of ancient Scandinavia and continental Europe. Such distinctions have intrigued scholars for over a century, but Russom is the first to provide a systematic explanation of Old English, Old Norse, Old Saxon, and Old High German alliterative metres. The system of alliterative rules described by Russom derives from ordinary language; the rules change with language over historical time, rather than persisting as arbitrary restrictions. Once the relations between language and metre are identified, it is possible to see how language change yielded the divergent metrical practices which gave each tradition its special character. Russom's results should interest scholars of Old English and related Germanic languages, as well as linguists and those concerned with poetic metre |

There are differences of poetic style between Beowulf and the otherwise similar verse of ancient Scandinavia and continental Europe. Such distinctions have intrigued scholars for over a century, but Russom is the first to provide a systematic explanation of Old English, Old Norse, Old Saxon, and Old High German alliterative metres. The system of alliterative rules described by Russom derives from ordinary language; the rules change with language over historical time, rather than persisting as arbitrary restrictions. Once the relations between language and metre are identified, it is possible to see how language change yielded the divergent metrical practices which gave each tradition its special character. Russom's results should interest scholars of Old English and related Germanic languages, as well as linguists and those concerned with poetic metre Beowulf / Versification Beowulf (DE-588)4128795-2 gnd rswk-swf Englisch English language / Old English, ca. 450-1100 / Versification English language / Old English, ca. 450-1100 / Rhythm Germanic languages / Versification Civilization, Anglo-Saxon Rhetoric, Medieval Alliteration Germanische Sprachen (DE-588)4113716-4 gnd rswk-swf Alliteration (DE-588)4120868-7 gnd rswk-swf Metrik (DE-588)4039002-0 gnd rswk-swf Metrum (DE-588)4169752-2 gnd rswk-swf Stabreimvers (DE-588)4182708-9 gnd rswk-swf Beowulf (DE-588)4128795-2 u Germanische Sprachen (DE-588)4113716-4 s Metrik (DE-588)4039002-0 s 1\p DE-604 Alliteration (DE-588)4120868-7 s 2\p DE-604 Metrum (DE-588)4169752-2 s 3\p DE-604 Stabreimvers (DE-588)4182708-9 s 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-09309-5 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-59340-3 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511582981 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
