Meter and Rhythm

Download the MP3 file
After three classes, we review concepts of metrical structure and rhythmic variation in the line and foot (the basic unit of measurement in accentual-syllabic poetry). We conclude the podcast with an exercise, wherein students read to a metronome to identify patterns of stressed accents within the line.

Meter and Rhythm in Iambic Pentameter 0:26
Non-Iambic Feet (Trochees, Anapests, Dactyls, Spondees, Pyrrhics) 2:34
Metronome Exercise 7:18
