A full reprint of the text of The Arte of English Poesie, a vivid record of the critical and creative methods of a prolific age, the late sixteenth century. In the critical and bibliographical introduction the disputes about the date of writing and the author's name (the book appeared anonymously) are examined and the purpose and contents of the book are analysed. Cambridge University Press is delighted to bring back into print, after a lapse of several decades, this classic edition first published in 1936 and still widely cited by scholars today.
