    Sidney's defence was an answer to the puritan fanatics of the 16th century led by Stephen Lasson in his "School of Abuse". The main attack on poetry was on the ground of its immortality. As for Shelley, his retort was to the 19th century thinkers understanding poetry on the ground of its worthlessness.
