Notes on Prosody information


First edition
(publ. Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd, 1964)

The book Notes on Prosody by author Vladimir Nabokov compares differences in iambic verse in the English and Russian languages, and highlights the effect of relative word length in the two languages on rhythm. Nabokov also proposes an approach for scanning patterns of accent which interact with syllabic stress in iambic verse. Originally Appendix 2 to his Commentary accompanying his translation of Aleksandr Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, Notes on Prosody was released separately in book form.[1]

Notes on Prosody and Nabokov's translation of Eugene Onegin sparked considerable academic debate.
