	Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is a written art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content.
		Poetry may use condensed form to convey an emotion or idea to the reader or listener, or it may use devices such as assonance, alliteration and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects.
		Poetry was employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, and law.

	Verse drama and dramatic verse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dramatic verse began to decline in popularity in the nineteenth century, when the prosaic and conversational styles of playwrights such as Henrik Ibsen became more prevalent, and were adapted in English by George Bernard Shaw.
		Dramatic poetry is any poetry that uses the discourse of the characters involved to tell a story or portray a situation.
		The major types of dramatic poetry are those already discussed, to be found in plays written for the theatre, and libretti.

		Poetry is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content.
		Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does.
		In pre-literate societies, poetry was frequently employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, law and other forms of expression or knowledge that modern societies might expect to be handled in prose.

		In the case of Sappho th effect is produced by the intensity of her passion, in the case o Homer by the intensity of the dramatic vision, in the case of Virgi by a supreme poetic art.
		The former, being in its highest dramatic exercise unconditioned by the personal or lyrical impulse of the poet, might perhaps be called absolute dramatic vision; the latter, being more orless conditioned by the personal or lyrical impulse of the poet, might be called relative dramatic vision.
		It is owing to the dramatic imagination displayed in the Il-fad that it is impossible to say, from internal evidence, whether the poem is to be classified with the epics of growth or with the epics of art.

		Poetry, taken in its widest acceptation, as the power of creating what is beautiful, and representing it to the eye or the ear, is a universal gift of Heaven, being shared to a certain extent even by those whom we call barbarians and savages.
		Of all kinds of poetry the dramatic is, in a certain sense, the most secular; for, issuing from the stillness of an inspired mind, it yet fears not to exhibit itself in the midst of the noise and tumult of social life.
		From the nature of the dramatic art, the poet must put into the mouths of his characters much of which he does not himself approve, while with respect to his own sentiments he claims to be judged by the spirit and connexion of the whole.

		In a very short time this form was largely adopted in Italian dramatic poetry, an.d the comedies of Ariosto, the Aminta of Tasso and the Pastor Fido of Guarini are composed in it.
		The ease and fluidity of his prosody were abused by his successors, particularly by Beaumont and Fletcher, who employed the soft feminine ending to excess; in Massinger dramatic blank verse came too near to prose, and in Heywood and Shirley it was relaxed to the point of losing all nervous vigour.
		But just as the form was sinking into dramatic desuetude, it took new life in the direction of epic, and found its noblest proficient in the person of John Milton.

	Some Observations on Shakespeare’s Dramatic Verse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The phrase Dramatic Poetry or Poetic Drama very simply refers to poetic language spoken aloud by characters in a drama or, in the case of individual poems, poetic language which suggests a strongly dramatic context (e.g., poetry directed to a particular listener in a specific setting, as in dramatic monologues).
		Traditional dramatic poetry differs from dramatic prose mainly in the formal construction of the poetic utterance, which is organized on the basis of a repetitive rhythmic structure for each line.
		Dramatic poetry, in other words, gives us spoken language which departs considerably from naturalistic speech patterns, mainly because the poetry is more tightly and formally organized (i.e., patterned).

	Greek Dramatic Criticism
		ITH the exception of the more or less fragmentary Poetics of Aristotle there is very little in Greek literature touching upon the subject of dramatic theory.

		It was not likely that any considerable body of dramatic theory should be formulated before the close of the great dramatic epoch ushered in by Aeschylus, so that the absence of any such work as the Poetics during that period is not surprising.

		The subjects of the epic and tragedy should be purely human, important, and pathetic: The characters stand best at a certain level of culture, where self-activity is still left to its own resources, where one operates not morally, politically, or mechanically but rather personally.
		In this, the dramatic poet generally is located in one place, the epic poet moves more freely in a larger locale; secondly, the more remote world, which I consider the whole of nature.
