Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir Philip Sidney It is more than fifty years since Mr Fox-Bourne published his excellent Memoir of Sir Philip Sidney. Although many books have since been published on the subject no one of them represents a first-hand attempt to examine the sources of information; their authors have simply availed themselves of Mr Fox-Bourne´s labours. An exception should be noted in the case of Professor Flügel´s Einleitung to his edition of the Apologie and Astrophel and Stella, but this is a collection of notes rather than a detailed ´Life.´ Some twenty-five years ago Mr Fox-Bourne re-wrote his Memoir in a briefer and more popular form for the Heroes of the Nation series of biographies, and in this edition he was able to incorporate some new facts regarding Sidney´s life which the lapse of time had brought to light. Under these circumstances it may be unnecessary to offer any apology for another study of the life of a man whose character and achievements have always possessed a peculiar fascination for his countrymen. I have attempted to make a thorough examination of the manuscript and published sources of information, and to estimate Sidney´s significance by studying him in his relation to his contemporaries and to the history of his time. To what has been previously known of his life I have been able to add some significant details, notably the account of his school-days based on Marshall´s manuscript - a document of very unusual interest which I was so fortunate as to discover at Penshurst.
