Defence of Poesie (Ponsonby, 1595) Sir Philip Sidney Transcribed, with an introduction, notes, and bibliography, by Richard Bear, University of Oregon, September-December 1992. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A note on the etext edition This etext of Philip Sidney's _Defence of Poesie_ is based on the Scolar Press facsimile of the British Museum's copy (Shelf-mark: C.57.b.38) of the Ponsonby editon of the _Defence_. It was transcribed in October, 1992 by Richard Bear of the University of Oregon and proofed by Richard Bear and Micah Bear. The editor acknowledges the invaluable guidance of Professor William Rockett in making improvements to the Introduction. The text has not been tagged in any way. The letters "j," "u" and "v" have been normalized for the modern reader, and catchwords eliminated; otherwise the old spellings have been retained. As in the original Ponsonby text, there is neither paragraphing no pagination. Quotations found . . .
