Philip Sidney : A Double Life by Alan Stewart Hardcover - 400 pages St. Martin's Press; October 2001 "This man, known as the "epitome of Elizabethan chivalry" and "quintessential Englishman," appears here as disap- pointingly less than his reputation. The subtitular "double life" alludes to the fact that the handsome, talented, well- born Sir Philip was belittled and neglected in England by status-sensitive, conspiracy-minded Queen Elizabeth, while on the continent his poetry and his statesmanship earned him acclaim....   Stewart furnishes a litany of Sidney's frustrations (his connections to noble families under royal suspicion injured his prospects), and examines his literary projects, which, but for the convoluted pastoral epic Arcadia, the lofty Defense of Poesie and the sonnet sequence Astrophil and Stella, remained unfinished. In Stewart's demythologized study, Sidney is the prisoner of his birthright.

Focusing on the significance of these and other self-representations throughout Sidney's career, Berry combines biography, social history, and literary criticism to achieve a carefully balanced portrayal of the poet's life and work." —Amazon.com Order it from Amazon.co.uk Life of the Renowned Sir Philip Sidney by Fulke Greville Published by Scholars Facsimilies & Reprint, September 1984 A facsimile of the 1652 biography.

Lamb explores the effect of this gendered ideology of authors in a famous Renaissance family - the Sidneys: Sir Philip Sidney, his sister, the Countess of Pembroke, and his niece, Mary Wroth, two notable and productive women authors of the time. Unlike other works which analyze gender only in terms of women's writing, Mary Lamb explores gender as a determining force in the works of both men and women of the Sidney circle. " —Amazon.co.uk.
