What is the difference between metre and rhythm in poetry? Metre is a set of binding rules which are characterised by being introductory or more abstract than linguistic elements, by preceding them and together by determining them, or at least by constructing one pole of a crucial relationship. Rhythm is, in fact, discourse in its enunciation, linguistic reality realised in discourse: prosody (rules of accentuation and syllabification), syntax; consequently, intonation, but essentially seen in versified structure, that is, in relation to pre-linguistic structures, formal skeletons: a metric form, a verse, a sequence of rhymes where they find a place. Therefore, a subjective and mobile element on the one hand; an objective, 'given', essentially rigid element on the other. The relationship between these two realities is the crucial point for the study of poetry. The novelty of this very original handbook, the synthesis of Marco Praloran's research on Italian poetry, lies in both the prosody of major verses and the development of metric forms.
