Apologie for Poetrie, 1595 (1901)

""Apologie for Poetrie"" is a literary work written by Sir Philip Sidney in 1595. It is a defense of poetry as a valuable and necessary art form. Sidney argues that poetry has the power to inspire and educate, and that it is not only a form of entertainment but also a means of conveying important ideas and truths. He also addresses common criticisms of poetry, such as the accusation that it is frivolous or immoral. Throughout the work, Sidney draws on examples from classical literature to support his arguments. This edition was published in 1901 and includes an introduction by H.R.
