According to the passage, Sidney believed that -----.
Sir Philip Sidney was a 16th-century English poet
and critic. His Defence of Poesy is the only major
work of literary criticism in sixteenth-century
England, a period during which Italy and France
produced large numbers of critical treatises,
heavily influenced by Aristotle's Poetics. By
contrast, Sidney's text is highly eclectic, drawing
together aesthetic principles from several traditions
and emphasizing especially those principles that
are of primary importance to the Elizabethans:
ideal imitation, moral teaching and decorum.
Looking back to Aristotle, Sidney defines poetry as
an imitation of nature, but links that imitation to his
view of the poet as maker. The poet imitates not
the real nature we see but rather he imitates an
ideal nature. Sidney also makes large claims for
the didactic role of poetry, following Horace's idea
that poetry teaches by delighting.
