Hamlet to Hamilton: Exploring Verse Drama

S1 E5: So You Think You Know Scansion?

Listen Later

It's time to explore our Tool Boudoir: that is, all the tools used on a line of verse.  First up?  Scansion, meter, and foot...BUT(!) not as you think you know them.  Introducing repeated, sprung, juxtaposed, and free meter - and how each of them work to help tell your story in verse.

  • Featuring verse from: Richard II (William Shakespeare), The Second Shepherd's Play (The Wakefield Master), The Mother of God Visits Hell (Daniel Guyton), The Other, Other Woman (Emily C. A. Snyder), The Table Round (Emily C. A. Snyder), and Murder in the Cathedral (T. S. Eliot)
