Sir Philip Sidney

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 . . .
