Taking aim at classical authors who disparaged poetry, and contemporary critics who saw literature as a corrupting influence, Sidney foregrounds the moral force of poetry. Sidney considers the real life affects of poetry upon the reader arguing that the stories instill virtues like courage in the reader. He combines this moral argument with a discussion of the technical features like genre, metre and rhyme. The Defence of Poesy thus began a long tradition of poets writing about poetry and is a touchstone for modern poetic criticism."--Provided by publisher.17aSidney, Philip,d1554-1586.tApologie for poetrie.2BUEsh 7aLiterature.2BUEsh918876 7aLiteraturexPhilosophy.2BUEsh924262 7aCritical theory.2BUEsh 7aPoetryvEarly works to 18002BUEsh  bHHUUEENNcSeptember2019  vReading book08iPrint version :z9781912453580  2ddccBB  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc2NDd2019-09-11ePurchaseg198.00l0o808.1 HAYp000048055r2025-07-15 00:00:00v247.50w2019-09-11yBB
