Abstract
The traditional understanding of Greville's poetic as one preoccupied with the concept of "plainness" of expression is strictly the result of persistent misapprehensions. It hardly accords with Greville's exposition of his views on poetry and of his own practice of the art (in A Treatie of Humane Learning and The Life of Sidney, respectively). Essentially, Greville's poetic squarely addresses the most fundamental of the aesthetic issues that Renaissance literary theory is concerned with, and, more particularly, deals with them in a markedly individual fashion. It ultimately represents a vigorous departure from, or revision of, the substance of the poetic of the period. As such, it is of considerable interest both as part of Greville's thought and as a moment in the evolution of early modern thinking about literature in England.
