In these lines from “a nocturnal reverie” what does the speaker refer to when she says “the inferior world”

let's break it down so since inferior means "low or lower in position" thats what shes referring the world to.

“way of writing” should be replaced with “writing style"

“idea” should be replaced with “purpose.”

maybe   “people from a long time ago” should be replaced with “elizabethans.”
