Inversion Definition

Inversion, also known as “anastrophe,” is a literary technique in which the normal order of words is reversed, in order to achieve a particular effect of emphasis or meter.

Inversion Techniques

Inversion is achieved by doing the following:

Placing an adjective after the noun it qualifies, g. the soldier strong

Placing a verb before its subject g. shouts the policeman

Placing a noun before its preposition g. worlds between

In the English language, there are inversions that are part of its grammar structure, and are quite common in their use. For instance, inversion always occurs in interrogative statements where verbs, or auxiliaries, or helping verbs are placed before their subjects. Similarly, inversion happens in typical exclamatory sentences where objects are placed before their verbs and subjects, and preceded by a
wh- word, such as the following examples of inversion:

What a beautiful picture it is!

Where in the world were you!

How wonderful the weather is today!

Examples of Inversion in Literature
Example #1: Romeo and Juliet (By William Shakespeare)

It was a common practice in the days of William Shakespeare to use inversions. Look at an example of inversion from Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5:

“Her mother is the lady of the house,
And a good lady, and wise and virtuous.
I nursed her daughter that you talked withal.
I tell you, he that can lay hold of her,
Shall have the chinks.”
