defence of poesy üzerine kısa bir özetEdebiyat
Sir Philip Sidney, as a legendary figure in his own lifetime, was a courtier, soldier, statesman, amateur scholar, and poet. Also in his works we see Renaissence humanism. the Apology is really important for understanding synthesis of the Renaissence understanding of classical theory. Sidney adapted classical and medieval models while writing it. In 1579, Stephen Gosson, published an attack on theaters titled "The School of Abuse" and dedicated it to Sir Philip Sidney without any permission. Gosson was a puritan minister and puritans were really conservative in that times and that is the reason of his attacking. In the following year he published his defence titled "A Defence of Poetry." From my side it deserves 7/10 but im only poor literature student don't take it serious... The book basically consist of 3 parts. The first part defends how goergous poetry is and show its superiority comparing it with History and Philosophy because it combines the moral precepts with one another. In second part he deals with spesific objections raised against poetry. Especially "Poet is a liar." from Stephen Gosson. Gosson feeds his words by mentioning Plato's Republic implying that he was also thinking that poetry is dangerous and poet is a liar. He says that's not true. In Plato's republic, he defends that art forms need to be controlled by government and if there is nothing wrong with it, then it can be publish. Another defence is he used Boccacio's "Poet never acclaim truth therefore he never lies." and he says even good philosophers uses the mask of poetry while making philosophy. In terms of their superiority he says philosophers can only be understood by whom knows the terms but poetry can be read by everyone. It's superiority for history, for example, comes from poetry's universality. History can only speak about what happened in the past but poetry can talk about past, present and future. Even Herodutus gave title "Nine Muses" to his work. He mentions the term "mimesis" which is really important. He says yes, poet can reflect what he sees in nature but he needs to be original AND he says "Her world (nature i think) is brazen, only poet delivers a golden." He says If there is one, whom tells you how beautiful trees nature have, or how awesome rivers it have, who can be? of course poet. Otherwise you wouldn't see any demi-gods or cyclops in the nature? third part criticises how good poetry should look like (rhyme, meter).
