The book highlights the prominence of rhyme, assonance, and alliteration in these hymns, demonstrating how these elements combined to create a captivating and rhythmic style. By examining the specific techniques used in each poem, the author reveals the poets' deep understanding of their craft and their deliberate artistry.
