[1] Freytag, Technik des Dramas, chap. i, sec. 2, p. 16 (Leipzig, 1881). Translation by Prof. H. B. Lathrop.
[2] To emphasize the nature and importance of poetic form (see pp. [211], [213]), “Count Gismond” and “By the Fireside” are here printed as prose. Find the length of line, the stanzas, and the metre, the meaning and appropriateness of all these. How should they be paragraphed?
Transcriber’s Notes:
Several of the poems appear in the middle of a paragraph. They are presented here as in the original text.
Other than the corrections noted by hover information, inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation have been retained from the original.
