For the period’s poets, metrical matters were a source of inspiration and often vehement debate. And the many readers, teachers, and pupils encountered meter and related topics in both institutional and popular forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Hall’s edited collection is…alive to the latest scholarship, and full of excitingly experimental research.” * Cambridge Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003e“This outstanding collection traces the heated debates over the meaning and practice of metrical forms in 19th-century England (and to a lesser extent in the US).... The essays are uniformly excellent.... The book requires too much expertise for undergraduates, but will be required reading for poetry specialists. \u003cb\u003eSumming Up\u003c\/b\u003e: Highly recommended.” * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e“These ambitious and richly varied essays bring a new and vital energy to Victorian poetry studies and literary study more generally. Arguing, on the one hand, for a thoroughly historicized poetics and, on the other, for fresh theoretical attention to prosodic effects, the volume makes a convincing case: meter does indeed matter.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents  * List of Illustrations  * Preface  * Acknowledgments  * Introduction  A Great Multiplication of Meters  Jason David Hall  * One: Meter and Meaning  Isobel Armstrong  * Two: Romantic Measures  Stressing the Sound of Sound  Susan J.
