Product Description

Review

"Wonderful...selection, layout, typography all excellent."--Harry Keyishian, Fairleigh Dickinson University

"Teachers and students will be particularly well served by the Duncan-Jones volume. Most appealing about this book of selected works is its inclusiveness....Makes available for the first time in a teachable paperback, a variety of historical materials....Makes it possible, thereby, to teach both a full selection of Sidney's works (especially the poetic works) and the creation of the Sidney legend."--Sixteenth Century Journal

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

This authoritative edition was originally published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Sidney's poetry and prose - all the major writing, complemented by letters and elegies - to give the essence of his work and thinking. Born in 1554, Sir Philip Sidney was hailed as the perfect Renaissance patron, soldier, lover, and courtier, but it was only after his untimely death at the age of 31 that his literary accomplishments were truly recognized. This collection ranges more widely through Sidney's works than any previous volume and includes substantial parts of both versions of the Arcadia, The Defence of Poesy and the whole of the sonnet sequence Astrophil and Stella. Supplementary texts, such as his letters and the numerous elegies which appeared after his death, help to illustrate the whole spectrum of his achievements, and the admiration he inspired in his contemporaries.
