Intonation in Seventeenth-
Century English Poetry
JOHN R. COOPER
Tliis book gives a theoretical explana¬
tion of how poets writing
metered
poetry
can control the way that poetry sounds
when it is read aloud. It explores how iam¬
bic pentameter was developed very much
to enable that control. It then uses the
theory to show how major seventeenth-
century lyric poets controlled intonation
and thereby the emotional force and
meaning of their poetry. It does so by
means of close readings of works by
Etonne,
Jonson,
Herbert, and the Cavalier
poets.
The work begins by surveying recent
treatments of poetic meter and rhythm in
English, considering both the dismissal of
meter by some contemporary critics and
the failed attempt by generative metrists to
develop a formula for determining metric-
ity on the model of Chomsky s generative
grammar. It employs the late Dwight
Bolinger s account of English intonation
to explain the long dominance of iambic
pentameter in serious English poetry and
discusses how meter is realized in perfor¬
mance. It concludes that the special power
of iambic pentameter is that it allows
poets to vary intonation while still main¬
taining an audible beat.
The second chapter shows, by way of
background, how Surrey, who established
iambic pentameter in Early Modern En¬
glish, employed it in his lyrics and his
(Continuedfrom front flap)
translation of the Aeneid, and how Sidney,
in Astrophel and Stella, built on Surrey
to achieve a greater flexibility in perfor¬
mance.
The chapter on Donne demonstrates, by
the close analysis of many poems from
different genres, how Donne actually uses
meter and syntax to achieve the dramatic
range of voices and the rhetorical and
dramatic power for which he is known.
The chapter on
Jonson
discusses how,
both in his iambic pentameter and his
four-best lyrics, he taught later poets to
use verse as a means of social interaction
by controlling intonation.
The last chapter deals with the suc¬
cessors of Donne and
Jonson,
particu¬
larly Herbert, Herrick, Carew, and Mar-
veil. These poets used the techniques of
Donne and
Jonson
for different rhetorical
purposes, from the confessional in Herbert
to the courtly in the others. The author s
term conversational lyric describes what
he finds distinctive in much seventeenth-
century verse
—
how it implies and re¬
sponds to the presence of a listener. The
book concludes by placing the conversa¬
tional lyric in its cultural context and
discusses how and why it yielded at the
end of the century to the didactic heroic
couplet, as transmission by manuscript
among a limited coterie of readers yielded
to widespread publication in print.
This book is intended for scholars and
students of English literature at the uni¬
versity level, as well as high school teach¬
ers, and all lovers of poetry. Although its
focus is on seventeenth-century lyrics, its
analysis of the relation of meter to per¬
formance has implications for the metrical
verse of all periods.
