ISBN: 9780192840806.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis authoritative edition brings together a unique combination of Sidneys poetry and prose--all the major writing, complemented by letters and elegies--that reveals the essence of his work and thinking.\n\nBorn in 1554, Sir Philip Sidney was hailed as the perfect Renaissance patron, soldier, lover, and courtier, but it was only after his untimely death at the age of thirty-one that his literary accomplishments were truly recognized. This collection ranges more widely through Sidneys works than any previous volume and includes substantial parts of both versions of the Arcadia, The Defence of Poesy and the whole of the sonnet sequence Astrophil and Stella.\n\nSupplementary texts, such as his letters and the numerous elegies which appeared after his death, help to illustrate the whole spectrum of his achievements, and the admiration he inspired in his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986865909813,"sku":"ByrdShop_0192840800","price":27.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780192840806_cf65c94a-75ab-4621-8c5b-f2d61d02adec.jpg?v=1778954516","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sir-philip-sidney-the-major-works-oxford-worlds-classics-9780192840806","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
