This study analyses the manner in which poets from the nineteenth century to the present day have adopted novelistic genres and techniques and adapted these to the prosodic requirements of rhyming, blank and free verse in order to produce original literary blends.

This study examines the different ways in which novelists have incorporated poetry into the fabric of their fictions. It works against literary compartmentalization by revealing how poetry can enhance prose narrative and how the novel can bring poetry to the notice of a wider reading public.
