Sidney (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): English Men of Letters Series

This volume of the English Men of Letters is an evocative biography of Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586), the poet, courtier, soldier, and one of the Elizabethan Age’s most prominent figures. Learned and politic, but also generous, brave, and impulsive, Sidney was memorialized as the flower of English manhood in Edmund Spenser’s Astrophel.
