While Plato extols inspired poetry, Aristotle conceives of poetry mainly in terms of techne. Underlying the opposition between inspiration and technique are two different approaches to poetry - a 'psychological' and a 'textual' one. Taking its cue from this opposition, the essay explores the analogous notions of poetry as 'idea' (Sidney) and as 'utterance' (Puttenham) within Elizabethan literary criticism.

Abstract

While Plato extols inspired poetry, Aristotle conceives of poetry mainly in terms of techne. Underlying the opposition between inspiration and technique are two different approaches to poetry - a 'psychological' and a 'textual' one. Taking its cue from this opposition, the essay explores the analogous notions of poetry as 'idea' (Sidney) and as 'utterance' (Puttenham) within Elizabethan literary criticism.
