Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Die Alliterierende Langzeile in der Mittelenglischen Romanze Sir Gawayn And The Green Knight
Doch sehen wir zun�chst, welche Ansichten uber den rhythmischen Bau des m1ttelenglischen Allitterationsverses in den letzten Jahrzehnten ge�ussert worden sind. Es schrieb dar�ber zun�chst (1867) W. Skeat: An Essay on Alliterative Poetry. Bishop Percy's Folio ms. Ed. By. Hales and Furnivall. Vol. III. P. XI - XXXIX. Skeat, der hier im wesentlichen auf dem Standpunkte von Guest's History of English Rhythms (1838) steht, sieht in jedem Halbverse nur zwei st�rker betonte W�rter, kann also ebenfalls als Anh�nger der erst sp�ter durch Vetter und Rieger genauer formulierten Zweihebungstheorie gelten.
