Summary:

"Engaging with literary, musical, philosophical and scientific thinking, Ewan Jones explores the birth of "rhythm" in the Victorian poetry of Robert Browning, George Eliot, Edmund Spenser, and others. The book demonstrates the vital importance of poetry to disciplines as varied as speech therapy, idealist philosophy, anthropology, and the thermal sciences, as they come to formulate rhythm for the first time"-- Provided by publisher.
