William Webbe's A Discourse of English Poetry (1586) is the first printed treatise exclusively dedicated to devising a canon for the definition of poetry in England. Traditionally eclipsed by the academic centrality of Philip Sidney's The Defence of Poesy (c. 1580; published 1595) and George Puttenham's The Art of English Poesy (1588), it was last prepared in a scholarly edition by Gregory Smith in 1904. This volume presents a modern-spelling text and a critical apparatus derived from the collation of the first printed document with subsequent editions. The explanatory notes incorporate recent research on Elizabethan literary theory and aim at substantiating Webbe's contribution within the academic and literary spheres of sixteenth-century England. A Discourse offers an enlightening testimony of the main concerns of Tudor humanism, and it also sheds light on the ideological foundations of the acclaimed quantitative reformation of metre launched by Sidney, Harvey, Spenser and other contemporary scholars.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Discourse of English Poetrie, 1586Although Poetry is the moft ethereal part of Thought and Expreflion; though Poets mufl be born and cannot be made: yet is there an art of Poefy; fet forth long ago by Home but varying with differ ing languages and countries, and even with different ages in the life Of the fame country. In our tongue Milton only excepted - there is nothing approaching, either in the average merit of the Journeymen or the fuperlative excellence of the few mafler-crafifmen, the Poefy of the Elizabethan age. Hence the value of thefe early Poetical Criticifms. Their difcuffion of principles as mofl helpful to all readers tn the difcern ment of the fubtlc beauties Of the numberlefs poems Of that era: while for thol'e who can, and who will they will be found fingularly fuggefiive in the training of their own Power of Song, for the inflruetion and delight of this and future generations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
