Hebrew Poetics

Bok av Paul E. Dion
How should one read aloud the Book of Job or the Hebrew Psalter? This is the question answered by this concise guide to the analysis and correct vocalisation of Hebrew poetry. As the author states in the foreword, this is not by any means a comprehensive guide to the rich symbolism, or the different literary genres, that make up Hebrew literature; "Its subject is restricted to what can be irreverently described as the mechanics of biblical poetry".
