| | Alliterative verse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alliterative verse, in various forms, is found widely in the literary traditions of the early Germanic languages. | | | One statement we have about the nature of alliterative verse from a practicing alliterative poet is that of Snorri Sturluson in the Prose Edda. | | | Even later, William Langland's Piers Plowman is a major work in English that is written in alliterative verse; it was written between 1360 and 1399. |

| | ALLITERATION - LoveToKnow Article on ALLITERATION |
| | As thus far considered, alliteration is a device wholly dependent on the poet's fancy. | | | This, for example, is the principle on which Icelandic verse is founded; and we have a yet nearer interest in it, because it furnishes the key to Anglo-Saxon and a large portion of early English verse. | | | Although mainly Germanic in its character, alliteration was known to the Latins, especially in early times, and Cicero blames Ennius for writing " O Tite tute, Tati, tibi tanta, tyranne, tulisti." Lucretius did not disdain to employ it as an ornament. |

| | Literary Terms and Definitions A |
| | Alliteration had been the formalistic focus in Old English poetry, but after 1066 it began to be replaced by the new convention of rhyme, which southern courtly poets were using due to the influence of continental traditions in the Romance languages like Latin and French. | | | ALLITERATIVE VERSE: A traditional form of Anglo-Saxon poetry in which each line has at least four stressed syllables, and those stresses fall on syllables in which three or four words alliterate (repeat the same consonant sound). | | | ALLITERATIVE PROSE: Many texts of Old English and Middle English prose uses the same techniques as alliterative verse. |

| | Second, \ \ \ Auden's alliterations in "Pressure applied by pincer movement" demonstrate that alliteration does not necessarily fall on the first syllable of a word but rather the first strongly stressed syllable. | | | Anglo-Saxon verse used alliterative stress to accomplish this stylization. | | | In all accentual verse there is also an implied fourth rule—avoid metrical ambiguity by reducing or eliminating secondary stresses that might confuse where the beat falls. |

| | A modern English equivalent would be a line like, "Beowulf the bold, bringer of bad tidings." Later, alliteration became a stylistic device used to reinforce word order rather than govern it, as in the parallelism used by John Lyly (whose style greatly influenced Elizabethan drama): | | | In Old English meter, each line is divided by a caesura, or pause, and the stressed syllables in the first half-line alliterate with those in the second. | | | Alliteration is the repetition of consonantal sounds in words close together, particularly using letters at the beginning of words or stressed syllables. |

| | The function of alliteration, like rhyme, might be to accentuate the beauty of language in a given context, or to unite words or concepts through a kind of repetition. | | | Alliteration is less common than rhyme, but because it is less common, it can call our attention to a word or line in a poem that might not have the same emphasis otherwise. | | | Note that the words only have to be close to one another: Alliteration that repeats and attempts to connect a number of words is little more than a tongue-twister. |
