145 editions published between 1877 and 2017 in 4 languages and held by 1,848 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Published in 1878 in the first series of English Men of Letters, this book thus provides an account of a literary life famously cut short, describing a writer

Book
)
95 editions published between 1800 and 2013 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,530 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Sir Philip Sidney (1554-86) was an English poet and courtier who is now seen as one of the most influential English writers of the sixteenth century.

Describing Sidney's childhood, European travels and time spent as a courtier, and his heroic death, this biography draws together previous scholarship on Sidney to provide a valuable account of his life and of contemporary English and continental influences on his work
