It is hard to imagine more versatile a scholar of poetry than Jaak Põldmäe (1942–1979). In the course of his short life (particularly short for a humanist scholar) he made a significant contribution to the development of various areas of verse theory and the dissemination of knowledge of poetics. Põldmäe paid equal attention to both the development of verse theory (see his works on the typology of metrical systems,1 the theory and the typology of vers libre,2 methodological problems in the description of poetic rhythm,3 rhyme and stanzaic structures4) and the description of empirical material used in case studies such as his research on the metric repertoires of Jaan Kärner and Lydia Koidula,5 the rhythm of Betti Alver’s iambic tetrameter,6 and useful overviews of the metric repertoire and rhythm of Estonian verse, primarily those of syllabicaccentual meters.7 Põldmäe’s book Eesti värsiõpetus [Estonian Verse Theory]8

JaakPõldmäe作品中的诗歌理论方法

很难想象一个比JaakPõldmäe（1942–1979）更广泛的诗歌学者。在他短暂的人生中（特别是对人文主义学者而言是短暂的），他为诗歌理论各个领域的发展和诗学知识的传播做出了重大贡献。珀尔迈（Pequalldmäe）同样重视诗歌理论的发展（参见他关于度量系统类型学的著作，1，自由形式的理论和类型学，2诗意节奏描述中的方法论问题，3韵律和节律结构4）和案例研究中使用的经验材料的描述，例如他对JaanKärner和Lydia Koidula的公制曲目的研究，5 Betti Alver的iambic四度计的节奏6以及对爱沙尼亚诗歌的公制曲目和节奏的有用概述，
