Uniquely considering the characteristics of biblical Hebrew poetry beyond its currently best known feature, parallelism, 'On Biblical Poetry' demonstrates the many interesting and valuable interpretations that yield from analyses of major facets of biblical verse, as well as careful attention to prosody-rhythm, lineation, and close reading. Through a series of programmatic essays, F.W. Dobbs-Allsopp argues that biblical poetry is, in mostrespects, just like any other verse tradition - and thus biblical poems should be read and interpreted like other poems.
