[PU: Oxford University Press], XLIV, 380 p.: Ill. Cloth with dustjacket. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, sonst ein tadelloses Exemplar / dust jacket slightly rubbed, otherwise a pristine copy. - Sir Philip Sidney (1554-86), author of the Arcadia, Astrophil and Stella, and The Defence of Poesy, was the most immediately influential writer of the Elizabethan period. Writing After Sidney examines the literary response to this major figure through four writers who had an important stake in his afterlife: his sister Mary Sidney, his brother Robert Sidney, his best friend Fulke Greville, and his niece Mary Wroth. At the same time as these authors wrote their own works in response to Sidney they presented his life and writings to the world, and were shaped by other writers as his literary and political heirs. Readings of these four authors and of Sidney’s own work are embedded in a more general study of the literary and cultural scene in the years after Sidney’s death, including the work of such writers as Spenser, Jonson, Daniel, Drayton, and Herbert. The study uses a wide range of manuscript and printed sources, as well as perspectives from Renaissance literary theory, especially rhetoric. It offers a new understanding of the nature of Sidney’s impact on the literature of the fifty or so years after his death in 1586 and develops a nuanced approach to the questions of imitation and example so central to Renaissance literature. Writing After Sidney makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how writing of the English Renaissance offered examples to later readers and writers, and of how it encountered and responded to such examples itself. / Contents List of Illustrations Note on Spelling, References, and Abbreviations Introduction 1.
