This book offers an original study of the reception/appropriation of the so-called Alcaic strophe in English-language poetry, and through deft close readings of several poems from the early modern period up to today rightly demonstrates that a neglect or ignorance of the use of classical metrics comes at the cost of a dimension of poetic expressiveness . --Peter Liebregts, Professor of Modern Literatures in English, Leiden University, The Netherlands
