Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works Sir Philip Sidney Philip Sidney was born in 1554 and died in 1586, and in estimating the value of his life work it is necessary to bear these dates constantly in mind. He grew to manhood in the stirring days of Elizabeth, - a time characterised by vigour and thoroughness, chivalry and love of adventure. Life was full of zest and earnestness; full, too, of varied interest and wonder. Men worked with untiring energy; the influence of the Revival of Letters was still a very real one, the Reformation had enhanced public interest in philosophical matters; religion and culture for a time went hand in hand with practical affairs. This had its drawbacks in so far as literature was concerned. Thus on the one hand we find Lord Buckhurst abandoning letters for statesmanship, on the other, there are the court wits and gallants who write poetry without any special aptitude or success. But from another point of view this widely diffused interest in matters of culture and in literary production was of incalculable advantage. Literature was not only the expression of all that was best in the life and thought of the time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
