| | Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose. | | | Poetry was employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, and law. | | | Robinson Jeffers, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams were three notable poets who rejected the idea that meter was a critical element of poetry, claiming it was an unnatural imposition into poetry. |

| | Encyclopedia: Old English poetry |
| | Old English poetry was meant to be declaimed aloud before an audience, the poet, or Scop, being both a creative and a performing artist. | | | It should be borne in mind that poetry of the time was primarily oral, and much has been lost through time since it went unrecorded. | | | Six centuries of the best poetry in the English language constitute the 883 poems of this unsurpassed anthology. |

| | Critics are not agreed as to the period of life in which he occupied himself with the composition of religious poetry, nor as to the chronological order of his works. | | | The later lived in troublous times, and nothing we know of his life agrees with inferences we may reasonably draw from autobiographical allusions in Cynewulf& poems. | | | His undisputed work is of too mature a character to seem to be the spontaneous product of a self-made singer, unfostered by literary society. |
