Classical dramatic verse in German and English literature: unrhymed acatalectic or hypercatalectic iambic pentameter without a fixed caesura
Blank verse is poetry written with regular metrical but unrhymed lines, usually in iambic pentameter. It has been described as "probably the most common and influential form that English poetry has taken since the 16th century", and Paul Fussell has estimated that "about three quarters of all English poetry is in blank verse".
