An Apology for Poetry (or The Defence of Poesy), by the celebrated soldier-poet Sir Philip Sidney, is the most important work of literary theory published in the Renaissance. The new introduction and notes include a wealth of new information and new readings drawing on recent developments in Renassance Studies. Unfamiliar words and phrases are glossed, classical and other references explained, and difficult passages analysed in detail. The first separate edition of Sidney's seminal text to be published for more than a decade. Since 1965 Geoffrey Shepherd's edition of the Apology has been the standard, and this revision of Shepherd's edition, with a new introduction and extensive notes, is designed to introduce Sidney's best-known work to a new generation of readers at the beginning.

Excerpt from Jane the Quene, Being Some Account of the Life and Literary Remains of Lady Jane Dudley, Commonly Called Lady Jane GreyHer education was consigned to the tender care and teaching of John Aylmer,* chaplain to the household at Bradgate, where this divine, who, in after days, was to wear a mitre, had taken refuge at an asylum during the last years of Henry VIII., when the new-born Anglican ism was struggling against the hard-dying medieval Church.Bearing a deep affection for this learned priest, Lady Jane was never happy unless in his company, seeking to acquire from him further knowledge.
