Omschrijving

Sir Philip Sydney's Defense of Poetry is a classic work of literary criticism that was originally written in the late 16th century. This edition, published in 1787, includes not only Sydney's influential essay but also observations on poetry and eloquence by Ben Jonson, another renowned English writer of the time.In his Defense of Poetry, Sydney argues that poetry is more than just a form of entertainment or a way to express emotions. He sees it as a powerful tool for conveying important ideas and shaping society. He also defends poetry against the criticisms of those who view it as frivolous or immoral.Jonson's observations on poetry and eloquence complement Sydney's ideas. He emphasizes the importance of clear and precise language in poetry, and he also discusses the role of the poet in society.Together, these two works provide a fascinating insight into the literary culture of Renaissance England. They offer valuable perspectives on the nature and purpose of poetry, as well as the role of the poet in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
