Who discussed rhyming cadences as a central resource of English poetry while tracing their late adoption by Greeks and Latins to soldiers?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In The Arte of English Poesie (1589), George Puttenham calls the cadences of rhyme "in effect all the sweetnesse and cunning in our vulgar Poesie", yet says rhyme came late to Greek and Latin verse, "till by the barbarous souldiers out of the campe, it was brought into the Court".
