Produktbeschreibung
""A Defense of Poesie and Poems"" is a book written by Philip Sidney in 1909. The book is an essay that defends the value and importance of poetry. Sidney argues that poetry is not only a form of entertainment but also a means of teaching and inspiring people. He believes that poetry has the power to move people emotionally and intellectually, and that it can convey important messages and ideas in a way that other forms of literature cannot. The book is divided into three parts: the first part discusses the nature and purpose of poetry, the second part examines various objections to poetry, and the third part provides examples of great poetry from various cultures and time periods. Throughout the book, Sidney uses examples from classical literature to illustrate his arguments and to show the enduring power and relevance of poetry. Overall, ""A Defense of Poesie and Poems"" is a passionate and persuasive argument in favor of poetry as a vital and essential part of human culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
