Description

The book contains comparative analyses of the development of litanic verse in European poetry, from medieval to modern times.

Litanic verse is based on different syntactic devices, such as enumeration, parallelism, anaphora and epiphora.

However, it is not to be seen merely as a convention of versification as the popularity of different variants of the verse in Europe reflects the religious, intellectual, social and political history of various European regions.

The essays in the second volume focus on litanic verse in the Germanic languages.

They discuss predominantly the literatures of Protestant countries (Great Britain, Denmark, Germany, Norway), but also Austrian poetry.
