Robert E. Stillman explores this paradox in terms of Philip Sidney's Defence of Poesy, the 1st Renaissance textual content to argue for the preeminence of poetry as an self reliant type of wisdom within the public area. supplying a clean interpretation of Sidney's get together of fiction-making, Stillman locates the origins of his poetics within a missed ancient neighborhood: the highbrow elite linked to Philip Melanchthon (leader of the German Reformation after Luther), the so-called Philippists.

Intellectually formidable and wide-ranging, this research attracts jointly numerous components of up to date scholarship in literary, non secular, and political historical past which will manage to pay for a broader figuring out of the Defence and the cultural context inside of which Sidney produced either his poetry and his poetics.
