From \u201dThe Defence of Poesy\u201d (excerpt 262-63 in Leitch, Vincent B. and William E. Cain, eds. The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism.<\/em> 2nd ed. New York: Norton, 2010. ISBN 978-0-393-93292-8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. On 257, how does Sidney differentiate poetry from the other arts (that of the astronomer, geometrician, moral philosopher, rhetorician, etc.), all of which have \u201cthe works of nature\u201d for their main object? What \u201csubjection\u201d do poets refuse, and what ideal can they \u201cdeliver\u201d to us because of this refusal? How do Sidney\u2019s remarks touch upon the moral quality and mission of poetry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. On 262-63, how does Sidney justify his assertion that poetry is superior to either philosophy or history? How does poetry better accord with Sidney\u2019s Renaissance definition of learning\u2019s purpose as \u2018\u2018action\u2019\u2019 (334 top), and in what ways do history and philosophy fail to do for us what poetry can? What relationship between pleasure and learning does the Christian author Sidney assert?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SIR PHILIP SIDNEY QUESTIONS FOR E256 LITERARY THEORY AND CRITICISMCHAPMAN UNIVERSITY, FALL 2012 Assigned: Sidney, Sir Philip.
