hi, I might be not explaining the question very well so in other words... IS there a writer (a famous one i mean) who writes prose that has a set meter to it? Or if not meter then a rhythm to the sentences if that makes sense?
thanks

Shakespeare is the obvious example. Much of his plays (except for the dialogue of lower-class characters) were written in iambic pentameter.

ETA: Although, one could argue that prose, by definition, is unmetered. Shakespearean plays were then written in verse.
