A Defense Of Poesie And Poems (1909) - Philip Sidney - Bog

Bag om A Defense Of Poesie And Poems (1909)

""A Defense of Poesie and Poems"" is a literary treatise written by the English poet and courtier Sir Philip Sidney in the late 16th century. The book is a defense of poetry as a noble and valuable art form, arguing against the prevailing belief that poetry was frivolous and corrupting. Sidney contends that poetry has the power to inspire virtue and morality in its readers, and that it is capable of expressing deep truths about the human experience. The book is divided into three sections: the first outlines the essential qualities of poetry, the second discusses the role of the poet in society, and the third provides examples of great poetry from history. Throughout the book, Sidney draws on classical and contemporary sources to support his arguments, and his writing is characterized by its eloquence and erudition. ""A Defense of Poesie and Poems"" is considered a landmark work of literary criticism and a key text in the development of English Renaissance literature.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.
