The Ancient Rhythmical Art Recovered: Or A New Method Of Explaining The Metrical Structure Of A Greek Tragic Chorus (1843)

""The Ancient Rhythmical Art Recovered: Or A New Method Of Explaining The Metrical Structure Of A Greek Tragic Chorus"" is a scholarly work written by William O'Brien and published in 1843. The book focuses on the study of Greek tragic choruses and their metrical structure. O'Brien argues that the traditional methods of analyzing Greek meter are flawed and proposes a new method that he believes better captures the rhythmical art of the ancient Greeks. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing an overview of Greek meter and the second part presenting O'Brien's new method. Throughout the book, O'Brien draws on examples from Greek tragedy to illustrate his points and provide practical applications of his method. Overall, ""The Ancient Rhythmical Art Recovered"" is a significant contribution to the study of Greek meter and an important work in the field of classical studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
