A major Elizabethan critic responds to attacks on poetry by presenting the poet as a “maker” and arguing that imaginative literature can simultaneously teach, delight, and move readers toward virtuous action; he further compares poetry with philosophy and history and maintains that poetry can provide ideal examples of virtue rather than merely recording existing events.

In a famous seventeenth-century prose tract, the writer opposes the system of pre-publication licensing, arguing that intellectual freedom is necessary because truth must be tested through open intellectual conflict and readers should not be prevented from encountering controversial or erroneous ideas by prior governmental censorship. Which work embodies this argument?\u003Cbr>A. Leviathan\u003Cbr>B. Areopagitica\u003Cbr>C. Eikonoklastes\u003Cbr>D. The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates\u003Cbr>Ans: B\u003Cbr>Q.
