The Model of Poesy
''The Model of Poesy'' is a Renaissance English treatise about the art of poetry written by William Scott in about 1599. It contains a theoretical description of what poetry is, and practical guidelines about how to write well. Scott, following on from Philip Sidney's ''An Apology for Poetry'', develops his poetics in the classical and continental tradition, and includes examples from many English writers, including Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare. Scott also quotes from his partial translation of Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas' ''La Sepmaine ''that is found directly after the ''Model'' in the sole surviving manuscript copy of both texts. The ''Model'' was re-discovered in the early 2000s and printed in a modern critical edition, edited by Gavin Alexander, in 2013.
==Manuscript==
The only known copy of the ''Model of Poesy'' is found in British Library Additional Manuscript 81083. ''The Modell of Poesye: Or The Arte of Poesye drawen into a short or Summary Discourse'' (to give its full title in the manuscript) is found on folios 1 to 49, written in a scribal italic hand with scribal and authorial/authorized corrections throughout. At least one gathering (i.e. eight pages) close to the start has been lost. Scott's dedicatory letter to Sir Henry Lee introduces the treatise, describing it as 'the first fruits of my study'. Folios 51 to 76 contain a partial translation of the first two ''jours'' of Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas' ''La Sepmaine''. The translation ends mid-sentence during 'The Second Day', and water damage to the final surviving leaves has made some lines illegible.
