Book Description
A general critical study of Sidney's life and works, first published in 1977: his life in relation to his works and both in relation to his age. In the late 1570s and early 1580s, when the literary scene in England was barren, Sidney emerged as the right man at the right moment to establish a national literature. In his Defence of Poetry he formulated a poetic which showed 'why and how' imaginative literature could be written in Protestant England; and in his poetry and prose, chiefly in Astrophel and Stella and the two versions of The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia, he revealed that the English language was, as he claimed, 'indeed capable of any excellent exercising of it'. Through the influence of his personality, his critical insight, and his brilliant achievement in both poetry and prose - which Professor Hamilton in this study establishes through careful analysis - Sidney became the central figure of the English literary Renaissance.

Book Description
Few families have contributed as much to English history and literature-indeed, to the arts generally-as the Sidney family. This two-volume Ashgate Research Companion assesses the current state of scholarship on family members and their impact, as historical and literary figures, in the period 1500-1700. Volume 1: Lives, begins with an overview of the Sidneys and politics, providing some links to court events, entertainments, literature, and patronage. The volume gives biographies to prominent high-profile Sidney women and men, as well as sections assessing the influence of the family in the areas of the English court, international politics, patronage, religion, public entertainment, the visual arts, and music. The focus of the second volume is the literary contributions of Sir Philip Sidney; Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke; Lady Mary Wroth; Robert Sidney, Earl of Leicester; and William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke.

Book Description
"The manysidedness of Sidney's achievement so impressed his contemporaries that Sir Walter Ralegh described him as the 'Scipio, Cicero, and Petrarch of our time'. Dr. Nichols concentrates on Sidney's success as a poet, but sees the poetry in the light of Sidney's other interests and ambitions. Naturally most attention is given to the poet's masterpiece, Astrophil and Stella, the first sonnet sequence in English. The author stresses the progress of the thought and imagery within each poem, and insists that each should be studied individually and not merely as a contribution to the narrative. Much of the fascination of Sidney's work lies in his ingenuity. his rapid changed in tone, and his pervasive wit and humour. Assuming a basic knowledge of Sidney's life and interests, Dr. Nichols leads the reader carefully towards and appreciation of these charming and exuberant poems, and offers a perceptive interpretation of the poetry of this versatile soldier, scholar, and poet." -Publisher.
