Nuyorican poetry is largely characterized by qualities of orality, performance , and ling. self-awareness, aspects grounded in Puerto Rican antecedents. Early Puerto Rican poetics syncretized the prehistoric, indigenous Taíno areyto , a ceremony in which songs of secular wisdom were performed communally; the West African role of the griot , a bard responsible for preserving cultural hist. and interpreting new challenges in an aesthetic, spoken form; and the Sp. lang., the...

...Icelandic bǫl , all meaning “misfortune.” The AV form cannot antedate the Common Germanic shift of accent to most nonprefixal initial syllables, since both alliteration and the metrical form depend on stress placement. This accent shift appears to have been a relatively late prehistoric devel. The earliest AV attested takes the form of brief runic inscriptions, beginning with the Norwegian Tune Stone of about 400 ce . The earliest datable examples in ms. are also mostly brief, coming from England. These include the nine-line “Hymn” of Cædmon (ca. 670 ,...

...the hist. of poetry become obvious. II. Antiquity. Didactic modes probably preceded the invention of alphabets and writing. Indeed, for oral trads. (religious and secular), rhythm and metaphor have always been used to aid memory and enliven ritual; such speculations about prehistoric poetry are confirmed by surviving fragments and mod. anthropology.

...high romanticism gave rise to revelatory utopian visions, either mystical ( William Blake ’s Jerusalem , 1804–20 ) or revolutionary ( P. B. Shelley ’s Prometheus Unbound , 1820 ). High romantic organicism awakened interest in folklore and “primitive” cultures, the prehistoric past, and the collective ling. consciousness as domains in which vestiges of primordial harmony withstood the fragmentation of mod. civilization.
