What is a blank verse?
Unrhymed iambic pentameter. The English language's natural blank canvas for serious thought.
Earl of Surrey introduced blank verse to English in his translation of Virgil's Aeneid (1540s). Shakespeare made it the spine of his plays; Milton scaled it to epic in Paradise Lost.
Tip: Blank verse rewards conversational rhythm. If every line is end-stopped, the form feels like a metronome. Look for enjambments where sense flows past the line break.
