- Authors
Cheng, Vincent J.
- Abstract
The article examines the prosody of author and poet James Joyce's prose literature. It notes the definition of the term "prosody" which means the study of verse forms and poetic meters. It explores on the prosody of and metrics of the Joyce's prose and observes that it used alliteration as away to tie together lines of prose at moments of dramatic and poetic intensity. It adds that in terms of rapprochement of poetry and prose, Joyce goes a lot further that other prose writers whose prose was often very poetic in their rhythm and whose free verse often tended to approach the qualities and rhythms of fine prose.
