Introduction:
In this research, I am going to discuss briefly the life of Sir Philip
Sidney, who is one of the remarkable poets and critics in the
Elizabethan age. Also I am going to talk over his masterpiece An
Apology for poetry which was a reply to the attack against poetry
which was launched by Stephen Gasson.
The period between the fourteenth century and extending Into the
seventeenth century has been named as the Renaissance, referring to a
rediscovery of the values, morals, and styles of classical Greece
and Rome. Humanists try to influence people through their writings.
Aristotle' Poetics and Horace's Ars poetics were the most influential
classical treatises. So all the defence and commentaries and debates
were written result to defend poetry. The poets were influenced by
Horace's precept that literature should '' teach and delight''.

In The School Of Abuse, Stephen Gasson employed his realization of
antiquity rather than the dominion of the scriptures to attack 'the
abuses of poets, pypers, and players'. Presenting himself as a manly
warrior rather than an effete scholar. Gosson was guided or misguided
by the spirit of sour Puritanism.
The fifth and the last section lighted on some rules of versifications.
He maintained that what distinguishes English poetry from
conventional poetry is accent and rhyme, mentioning that the
renaissance interest is to introduce classical meters into English and
also concerns with life problems of rhyme and meter.
