This volume examines attempts by poets from Swinburne and Aleister Crowley to Ezra Pound and H. D. to compose English poetry in the quantitative metres of Ancient Greek and Latin. Treating these works as a connected field of experiment, the book situates classical metre within developments of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century poetry.
