Présentation de l'éditeur

Pois: 1589 T he Arte of English Pocsie. Contrined into three Bookes: The first of Poets and Poesie, the sicond of Proportion, the third of Ornament was published without the authors name, in 1589, by Richaid Fntd, dwelling in the black-F riers, necre Litdgate? The text here printed follows Ben Jonson scopy, now in the British Museum. Many passages are underlined (especially in the opening chapters), and there arc a few annotations; but it is extremely doubtful that any of these arc by Ben Jonson. The copy also contains eight unnumbered pages on the Device and A nagram5 (see p. 105), which were withdrawn vhilc the volume was passing through the press: and it has the substituted paagc in Book 111. chap, xix, in place of the criticism of the Flemings, which occurs in some copies of this edition (sec Notes). The Arte of English Poeie is anonymous, yet the evidence of Puttenham sauthorship is, if not absolute, at leat sufficiently strong to justify the ascription.
