Their correspondence primarily shows both parties’ involvements in the dialectic regarding prosody in the context of national identity. But a secondary revelation can be found here, as well: if Arnold’s intimate meter was distorted into Newbolt’s national meter, then Bridges’s project of metrical multiplicity represents a very different kind of nation than the one that Newbolt’s theories propose, even if Bridges explains the evolution of stress verse as a natural progression in the continuum. While Newbolt seems to embrace his version of English national meter as the culmination of this evolution, Bridges wants to keep each strain of the tradition alive, always evolving, and part of a variety of choices available to English poets.
