Excerpt: ...Aristotle and Horace.232 Moreover, Puttenham calls attention to the importance of the imagination in the composition of poetry as well as in war, engineering and politics.234 That the art of poetry is eminently teachable, Puttenham is entirely convinced, for he defines it as a skill appertaining to utterance, or as a certain order of rules prescribed by reason and gathered by experience.233 It is verse, according to Puttenham, not imitation, which is the characteristic mark of poetry.
