On Not Defending Poetry: Defence and Indefensibility in Sidney's Defence of Poesy
Bates, Catherine (University of Warwick)
Sidney's Defence of Poesy is generally taken to present a model of poetry as ideal: the poet depicts ideals of human conduct which readers are inspired to imitate. Catherine Bates challenges this view, and shows how idealist poetics is complicit with the money form and its related ills: commodification, fetishism, and the abuse of power.
