Sir Philip Sidney
Born in 1554, Sir Philip Sidney was hailed as the perfect Renaissance patron, soldier, soldier, lover, and courtier, but it was only after his untimely death at the age of thirty-two that his literary achievements were truly recognized. This collection includes supplementary texts, such as his letters and the numerous elegies which appeared after his death, help illustrate the wide spectrum of his achievements, and the admiration he inspired in his contemporaries.
Sir Philip Sidney
Making use of a new appreciation of Sidney's proto-novel The Old Arcadia (1580) and a rare 1579 letter newly discovered by this famous Elizabethan courtier, poet and writer, Dr Connell uses contemporary maps by Ortelius and other historical sources to bring to life the politics and art of Sidney and his circle throughout Europe. The Old Arcadia was his first substantial work, and this can be fruitfully compared to his more famous New Arcadia (written in 1586 and left incomplete at his death); this last was published in the 1590s by his sister Mary at a period when it strongly influenced Shakespeare and other writers of the later Elizabethan age.
Sidney and His Circle
In this compact, yet wide ranging guide Matthew Woodcock presents a structured introduction to each of Sidney's major works.
