Résumé
George Puttenham's 'The Arte of English Poesie' emerges as a seminal work in the history of English literature, offering a comprehensive examination of poetic theory and practice in the late 16th century. Written in a mixture of prose and verse, the treatise consists of three books that explore the nature of poetry, the art of composition, and the practical craft of verse-making. Set against the backdrop of the English Renaissance, Puttenham's work is remarkable not only for its critical insights but also for its advocacy for the English language as a worthy medium of literary expression, challenging the prevailing dominance of Latin and Italian influences.
Puttenham, a courtier and poet himself, was a product of a highly artistic milieu, having served under Queen Elizabeth I. His personal experiences and the cultural context of an era marked by burgeoning national identity fueled his desire to articulate a poetics uniquely suited to English sensibilities. Much like his contemporaries, he grapples with the tensions between adherence to classical forms and the innovative spirit of English creativity, providing a window into the evolving landscape of Renaissance thought.
This indispensable text is highly recommended for scholars and students alike who seek to understand the foundations of English literary theory and its evolution. Puttenham's exploration of poetic artistry not only enriches our appreciation for English literature but also invites readers to reflect on the ongoing dialogue about the role of poetry in society.
