What is blank verse? What are some examples of blank verse poems and how do they differ from free verse or rhymed poetry? Professor Evan Gottlieb answers these questions using examples from John Milton's Paradise Lost and William Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey.
The short video is designed to help high school and college English students to not only identify blank verse in poems but also to analyze its purposes and effects. The video is sponsored by the School of Writing, Literature, and Film at Oregon State University.
