Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Correspondence of Philip Sidney and Hubert Languet Philip Sideney first met Hubert Languet in the house of Andreas Wechel, the Protestant printer, at Frankfort. The meeting took place early in the autumn of 1572. Sidney was then in his eighteenth year, and fresh from Oxford and his first glimpse of court life. He had left England in May to enter upon that period of study and travel abroad which was beginning to be regarded as essential to the complete education of every well-born young Englishman who looked forward to a public career in his own country. Both he and Languet had recently been in Paris, where they had witnessed the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew. But while Sidney, safely hidden in the house of Sir Francis Walsingham, the English Resident Minister, encountered no real peril during the seven days of slaughter, Languet, who had incurred hostility by his open advocacy of the Huguenots, narrowly escaped death. The latter was fifty-four at this time, but the long years of arduous labour as diplomatic agent and envoy had not altered a generous and even genial disposition, or rendered an unusually warm heart less responsive to the appeal of youth.
