Abstract
This essay discusses rhyme and in sylabo-accentual verse, in which the term rhythm refers to stress patterning within the line. Rhyme and have been investigated in isolation, yet no studies exist that provide a rigorous framework for correlating their effects. This essay shows, based on a thorough statistical analysis of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, that of individual lines can mimic rhyming structures within the stanza. In addition, we trace the evolution of the Onegin stanze in the Russian literary tradition uncovering the ways in which covert transformations of poetic form reflect shifts in literary history from late Romanticism to Modernism.
