Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Sir Philip Sidney The treatise is indeed our first authority for some of the well-known stories of Sidney, notably that of the quarrel with the Earl of Oxford in the tennis court (Greville, however, does not give the earl´s name); but it is at once much less and much more than a regular biography of Sidney. There are no dates, no details of personal appearance, place of abode, habits, friends and acquaintances; nothing of marriage; scarcely anything of life at court; nothing even of Sidney´s literary pursuits, except an interesting criticism of the Arcadia solely from the point of view of the political philosopher. Here, in feet, we have the matter in a nutshell. In all that he writes, except the love poems of the series named Caelica Greville writes as a political philosopher and moralist. Even in Caelica the thinker dominates the lover, and often banishes the artist: the rest of the poems, including the plays, are, even avowedly (cp. Life of Sidney chs. 14 and 18), political philosophy in verse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
