Neo-Miltonic syllabics

Neo-Miltonic syllabics

Neo-Miltonic Syllabics is a group of poems written by Robert Bridges between 1921 and 1925, and collected in his book New Verse (1925). The poems are based on a syllabic meter, which Bridges arrived at through his detailed analysis of Milton's poems, which is explained in detail in his book Milton's Prosody.

The first poem in this form was 'Poor Poll', which F. T. Prince regarded as the best illustration of Bridges' meter.
