Excerpt from The Technique of the French Alexandrine: A Study of the Works of Leconte De Lisle, Jose Maria De Heredia, Francois Coppee, Sully Prudhomme, and Paul Verlaine As this monograph deals only with the technique of the French Alexandrine, a discussion of questions, such as, mute e, verse-accent, word-stress, etc., would be out of place.

Excerpt from The Technique of the French Alexandrine: A Study of the Works of Leconte De Lisle, Jose Maria De Heredia, Francois Coppee, Sully Prudhomme, and Paul Verlaine As this monograph deals only with the technique of the French Alexandrine, a discussion of questions, such as, mute e, verse-accent, word-stress, etc., would be out of place. In the First Part I have endeavored to give a general presentation of the rules and principles of versification practiced by the Class ical, Romantic, Parnassian and Symbolistic schools of poetry. In the body of examples I have shown to what extent these rules are followed by the five poets whose works have been examined. It would be out of the sphere of this work to discuss the occasional violations of these principles found in the verses examined, as those referring to the question of hemistich or cesura, rime, overflow, mute 6, etc. I have avoided any discussion of these points, noting only the exam ples which are found in the works of the five poets examined. The Third Part deals with a r???sum??? of Part Two and gives the innovations in modern French verse found in Verlaine; some of these may be found occasionally in other poets before Ver laine, but he is the first poet in the nineteenth century to in troduce them as a legitimate form of verse. I have avoided using the terms accent and cesura because the terms pause or rest and hemistich answer the same purpose, and in order to avoid a discussion of the questions of verse-accent and cesura.
