Frank Whigham and Wayne A. Rebhorn, both of whom have made substantial scholarly contributions to a rhetorical understanding of early modern literature, have done all students, teachers, and scholars of early modern English literature a great service. This is now the best, most readily available edition of Puttenham’s text. If this new edition means that Puttenham’s \u003ci\u003eArt \u003c\/i\u003eis taught more often, that will be a good thing. Students will now more likely be examining an art of English poetry and not just a sociology of it in the wonderful prose argument in this historicized, yet aesthetically aware edition of the text. We should exhibit our gratitude by ordering it for our libraries and requiring it for our classes.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Scott Crider * Sixteenth Century Journal *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine edition of George Puttenham's \u003ci\u003eArt of English Poesie\u003c\/i\u003e, by Frank Whigham and Wayne A. Rebhorn, presents a modernized, extensively glossed, and annotated text. The edition also provides a long, full, and often brilliant introduction, which sketches Puttenham’s biography, rehearses the evidence for his authorship of the \u003ci\u003eArt\u003c\/i\u003e, describes the cultural materials on which the book draws, analyzes its poetics, and discusses it as an embodiment of its author’s ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e -- William A. Oram * Modern Philology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhigham and Rebhorn have undertaken an enormous task in annotating and modernizing such a difficult text, written in frequently complex prose and rife with obscure and sometimes concealed references.... Their readable, fully annotated version of Puttenham's treatise, in consultation with a facsimile of the 1589 text, will be extremely useful to students and seasoned literary critics.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Stephen B.
