초록
This paper scans and compares the metre of Gawain, a work of the Pearl-poet’s youth, with the metre of Cleanness, the product of his maturity according to Sievers’ Five Metrical Types. It is well known that the alliterative long lines in the fourteenth century are very flexible in terms of metrical configurations. The metrical types in Gawain form 183 different half-line patterns and the types in Cleanness exhibit 167 different ones. The statistics show that Gawain’s configuration is more flexible than that of Cleanness. The distribution of metrical patterns shows that the rhythmical patterns of two half-lines are mutually exclusive at a rate of 91% in Gawain and 96.35% in Cleanness. Although the end of the last words in the a-verse presents an unstressed syllable as being optional in the two poems, the end of the b-verse has a single unstressed syllable at a rate of 99.7% in Gawain and 100% in Cleanness. The implications of this study are summarized as follows: (1) the metre of Cleanness is more consistently rhythmical than Gawain’s and (2) Cleanness’ alliterative long lines are more highly regulated in their metrical patterns than Gawain’s.
Abstract
This paper scans and compares the metre of Gawain, a work of the Pearl-poet’s youth, with the metre of Cleanness, the product of his maturity according to Sievers’ Five Metrical Types. It is well known that the alliterative long lines in the fourteenth century are very flexible in terms of metrical configurations. The metrical types in Gawain form 183 different half-line patterns and the types in Cleanness exhibit 167 different ones. The statistics show that Gawain’s configuration is more flexible than that of Cleanness. The distribution of metrical patterns shows that the rhythmical patterns of two half-lines are mutually exclusive at a rate of 91% in Gawain and 96.35% in Cleanness. Although the end of the last words in the a-verse presents an unstressed syllable as being optional in the two poems, the end of the b-verse has a single unstressed syllable at a rate of 99.7% in Gawain and 100% in Cleanness. The implications of this study are summarized as follows: (1) the metre of Cleanness is more consistently rhythmical than Gawain’s and (2) Cleanness’ alliterative long lines are more highly regulated in their metrical patterns than Gawain’s.
