An Apology for Poetry (or The Defence of Poesy), by the celebrated soldier-poet Sir Philip Sidney, is the most important work of literary theory published in the Renaissance. Its wit and inventiveness place it among the first great literary productions of the age of Shakespeare. Since 1965 Geoffrey Shepherd's edition of the Apology has been the standard, and this revision of Shepherd's edition, with a new introduction and extensive notes, is designed to introduce Sidney's best-known work to a new generation of readers at the beginning of thetwenty-first century.Unfamiliar words and phrases are glossed, classical and other references explained, and difficult passages analysed in detail. This greatly expanded edition will be of value to all those interested in the Renaissance, from students and teachers at school and university to the inquisitive general reader.

Excerpt from The Defense of Poesy: Otherwise Known as an Apology for Poetry Sidney's estimate of poetry heralded such poetic achievement as the world had only once or twice witnessed. What Sidney outlined, Spenser and Shakespeare executed, though not always in the precise forms which he himself would have approved. In this essay he appears as a link between the soundest theory of ancient times and the romantic production of the modern era, as a humanist actuated by ethical convictions, as a man of affairs discharging the function of the scholar with the imaginative insight of the poet. To assist in placing the student of English literature at the point of view from which he can rightly judge of the merits and relations of Sidney's immortal disquisition is the object of the present editor's labors. In modernizing the spelling and punctuation of the text, I have been guided by the principles which have been well expressed by Dr. Edwin A. Abbott, in the Preface to his edition of Bacon's Essays, pp. iii-iv: "As regards spelling, the principle adopted in the following pages is this: whatever quotations or extracts are made for critical or antiquarian purposes are printed with the old spelling, but the Essays themselves are placed on the same footing as the Bible and Shakespeare; and, as being not for an age but for all ages, they are spelt with the spelling of this age.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... notes. 11. Edward Wotton. One of Sidney's dearest friends, whom he remembered in the will made on his death-bed, and who was one of the four pall-bearers at his funeral. 1 2. Emperor's. Maximilian ii. (1527-1576). 1 3. Horsemanship. This was in the winter of 1574-75, when Sidney had just arrived at the age of 20. That Sidney profited by these lessons in horsemanship is apparent from his own statement in the 41st sonnet of Astrophel and Stella, written, as Pollard, one of his latest editors, thinks, in April or May, 1581: Having this day my horse, my hand, my lance Guided so well that I obtained the prize, Both by the judgment of the English eyes And of some sent from that sweet enemy France, Horsemen my skill in horsemanship advance, Town-folks my strength. The year before he had given this advice to his brother Robert: "At horsemanship, when you exercise it, read Crison Claudia, and a book that is called La Gloria del Cavallo withal, that you may join the thorough contemplation of it with the exercise; and so shall you profit more in a month than others in a year, and mark the bitting, saddling and curing of horses" (Fox Bourne, Memoir, p. 278). Cf. also Sonnets 49 and 53 of Astrophel and Stella. 16. Wit. A favorite word with Sidney. Used in the singular, 7 34, 8 26, 8 34, 10 14, 12 1, 13 35, 32 25, 37 8, 30, 31, 43 14, 44 7, 8,18,19, 461,24, 50 2; in the plural, 3 4, 4 30, 5 31, 39 8, 42 4, 44 32, 52 17. Cf. also fine-witted, 1413. 110. Loaden. Cf. 13 28. Dr. J. A. H. Murray kindly informs me that this form of the past participle is found as early as 1545, in Brinklow's Lamentacyon (E. E. T. S. Extra Ser. No. 22), p. 82, in the translation of Matt. ii. 28. From this time onward, for a hundred years, it is common, being found several...
