FREE INTRODUCTION TO POETRY NOTES
Poetry is a mode of writing that is as focused on rhythm, meter, and sound as on meaning and communication. It especially emphasizes the interaction of sound and sense. The definition of poetry varies according to culture and historical period: it may verge on song and chant, prayer and meditation, prose description and narrative; or even visual art. Its purposes range from religious ritual to popular entertainment. Whatever its function, poetry has closer ties to performance than prose does: even when not read aloud (as poetry originally was in all cultures), poetry is concerned with the auditory and visual way in which it strikes its audience.
OLD ENGLISH/LATER OLD ENGLISH (ENGLAND ONLY)
(650c. 1066) The Old English poetry that survives represents works in the oral tradition of the bard that were committed to manuscript and preserved in monasteries. Verses were probably memorized and may have been performed with musical accompaniment. Many poems of this time are anonymous. Poetry displayed a varying mixture of pagan and Christian elements. The prevailing Old English versification consisted of varying numbers of unaccented syllables, but a constant number of accented syllables, per line. Alliteration and caesuras were used to stress various syllables.
