I am doing a research, I want to know who has invented the English poetry rules like meters (Iambic, Torchee, ...) and feets; who has discovered that some feet are (Stressed, Unstressed) and others are (Unstressed, Stressed)

You may provide me by a resource so that I can investigate more.

Research project, huh, Taha? :)

Well you can't beat a bit of eclectic searching on the internet for that kind of thing.

Here's a wonderful (and succinct) page I found on the web that offers a starter-for-ten: http://www.improve-education.org/id49.html

Here's what I'd do:

  • go to that link
  • read what's written
  • use the names there as a basis for further search and research
  • own everything you read by adding your own style to what you understand
  • Have fun as you do it. :)
