Here is
the most extensive rhyming
dictionary available today.
Clearly and compactly
arranged, it will enable all
verse-writers to find the
rhymes they need quickly and
easily. It contains more terms
than any other similar work
and includes a wealth of slang
and colloquial words, as well
as numerous foreign
expressions that have been
assimilated into the English
language. Frances Stillman's
detailed introduction on
prosody provides a clear
treatment of poetic forms. The
various metres and stanzas
used in English are described
with examples, and the author
explains the differences
between accent and stress and
elaborates upon the nature of
sprung rhythm. Perfect rhyme
and near-rhyme are thoroughly
treated, including the
near-rhyme used in
contemporary verse. Including
a comprehensive index to all
the terms used, this is a
reference tool that no writer
of verse can afford to be
without.
