Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... good time establish the "right practice and orderly course of true poetry."107 Puttenham, in a treatise the most extensively didactic of all, spares no pains to furnish English "courtiers, for whose instruction this travail is taken," with the "whole receit of poetry," compiling for their benefit a marvelous store of information pertaining to the art that he is zealous to teach them, so that "though they be to seek of the Greek and Latin languages" they shall not "lament for lack of knowledge sufficient to the purpose of this art. "m In the three books making up his Art of English Poesy, namely, "Of Poets and Poesy," "Of Proportion Poetical," and "Of Ornament," he attempts to supply information on all possible aspects of the subject, devoting himself in the main, however, to practical matters of forms and kinds, methods, prosody, and figures of speech. The prominence of the didactic motive in Elizabethan criticism of poetry is further evinced in the controversy between Campion and Daniel. Campion, in his endeavor to "induce a true form of versifying" with the aim of displacing the "vulgar and unartificial custom of riming," which he knows has "deterred many excellent wits from the exercise of English poesy, "m devotes himself chiefly to the exposition of the forms of verse that he wishes to be adopted, his purpose being not only to persuade poets to make the departure but also to teach them how to proceed.

Tracing the rise of literary self-consciousness from the Elizabethan period to his own day, Eliot invites us to "start with the supposition that we do not know what poetry is, or what it does or ought to do, or of what use it is; and try to find out, in examining the relation of poetry to criticism, what the use of both of them is."

This 1979 study relates Shakespeare's work to the poetry, criticism and life of his age. Drawing upon a considerable body of evidence, it shows how Shakespeare was influenced by medieval thought, by classical sources, by the popular verse and the theatre of his day, and by the Elizabethan use of language.
