...wittily titled and thoroughly contrary...This is a fine book....In one sense, Bates has written perhaps the first book in defence of Sidney's defence...Yet her ingenious buttressing of the Defence's weak spots comes under the guise of an attack...If this constitutes a paradox, it is...the kind of paradox that Sidney might, despite himself, have admired. * Robert Stagg, Times Literary Supplement * On Not Defending Poetry also represents something of a theoretical departure for scholarship on Sidney's Defence....by adopting a 'deconstructionist approach' akin to that of Fredric Jameson, Bates steers away from the trend set by recent scholars who have adhered to the New Historicist methodologies pioneered by the likes of Stephen Greenblatt. * Richard Wood, The English Association * Deeply learned ... an indispensable book. * Studies in English Literature: 1500-1900 *
