Scholarly Monographs:
 The Machines of Meter: Technologies of Nineteenth-Century Versification. Completed
typescript, proposed to Cambridge UP; (Research and writing funded in part by a
Leverhulme Research Fellowship and a British Academy Small Research Grant.)
In the Victorian period, engagements with poetic meter often took a markedly mechanistic
form—in relation to poets’ and prosodists’ conceptions of the verse line, in the practice of
metrical education and in the approaches of scientists to the measurement of meter. This
project asks what shapes the ‘machine of meter’ took across the nineteenth century. It will
focus on four notable moments in the mechanization of meter: the mechanisms of metrical
instruction (both elite and popular); the technological automation of meter; the machinations
of the metrical mind; and the mechanically assisted experimental methods and technologies
of psychologists-cum-metrists. The project thus bring together literary and non-literary texts
and artefacts, taking an interdisciplinary, historical approach to some of the more interesting
‘metrical machines’ of the period.
 Seamus Heaney’s Rhythmic Contract. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2009. Reviewed
in English Studies and Irish Studies Review
<http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=333539>
While glosses on Seamus Heaney’s verse forms figure more or less significantly in critical
accounts of his poetry, Seamus Heaney’s Rhythmic Contract is the first book to take the craft
of Heaney’s art as its focus. Setting out a historically informed approach to poetic form, the
book places Heaney’s developing versification squarely in the context of the Belfast Group
and mid-century Anglo-American theories of meter and rhythm. It also gives much needed
attention to the poet’s putatively free verse and to his most enduring form, the sonnet.
Behind Heaney’s metrical manoeuvres, the book argues, is his ongoing attempt to
communicate with his readers. The ‘contract’ he extends to them is expressed first and
foremost in the rhythmical patterning of the poems themselves.

Poetry by Numbers (year-long project involving collaboration across HASS and STEM,
funded by AHRC Science in Culture Innovation Award)
This project centres on a one-off piece of technology from the 1830s/40s: the Eureka Latin Verse
Machine. This device, built to ‘compose’ in random sequence lines of poetry (each one arranged
in Latin hexameters, the measure of the great ancient epics), was conceived and constructed by a
Somerset inventor named John Clark. The ‘Poetry by Numbers’ project is interested in
uncovering and documenting the competencies, methodologies and skill sets needed for the
construction of such a device, as well as the extent to which the convergence of these specialisms
can be put to productive use in the current day to inform restoration projects relating to Britain’s
technological heritage. To that end, the project assembles experts from the key disciplines whose
knowledge feeds into the working of the Eureka: a specialist in nineteenth-century versification
(principal investigator); an expert in Classical studies of the Victorian period; a historian of
nineteenth-century mathematics; a mathematician and computer scientist (co-investigator);

8. Hall CV 8
engineering specialists working at Exeter’s Centre for Additive Layer Manufacture (CALM); two
conservators; and the archivist for the Alfred Gillett Trust (AGT), which owns the Eureka. This
team of experts, co-ordinated by the principal and co-investigator, with other named experts
advising on a sub-contractual basis to keep costs to a minimum, will assess the historical object
and documents obtaining immediately and peripherally to it (e.g., notes on its construction and on
Victorian prosody/programming/mathematics/Classics more generally) with a view to (1)
understanding the Eureka’s operation, (2) conserving the device itself and (3) returning it (where
feasible) to a functional state. Given its age and uniqueness, however, the project will also (4)
produce both a virtual and actual replica–the former using up-to-date computer programming, and
the latter the procedures of 3-D printing in Exeter’s CALM lab–that will allow for display and
hands-on operation. A related outcome is the documenting of collaborative methods and
manufacturing techniques for potential application in other restoration projects. The knowledge
we gain about the use of 3-D printing for the construction of objects relating to the history of
science will have transferable use across the museums and heritage sector, providing a model for
best practice, as well as a detailed construction template. Once the core work supported by the
grant has been accomplished, we envisage an exhibition of the machine, alongside its replicas and
related examples of Victorian ‘computing’ technology, bringing the Eureka, which was famously
exhibited in 1845, back to public view.
