Selected Works Summary

Selected Works by Sir Philip Sidney

This volume of selections from the writings of Sir Philip Sidney includes the whole of his sonnet sequence "Astrophil and Stella", his "Defence of Poesy", his "Certain Sonnets" and substantial parts of both versions of the "Arcadia". A selection of letters fills out the picture of Sidney the man and supplementary texts illustrate both his inventiveness as a royal entertainer and the literary cult which grew up around him after his sudden death in 1586. Katherine Duncan-Jones has also edited "Miscellaneous Prose of Sir Philip Sidney" and "The Old Arcadia".

full selection of Sidney's works (especially the poetic works) and the creation of the Sidney legend."--Sixteenth Century Journal
