Review


"Wonderful...selection, layout, typography all excellent."--Harry Keyishian, Fairleigh Dickinson University


"Teachers and students will be particularly well served by the Duncan-Jones volume. Most appealing about this book of selected works is its inclusiveness....Makes available for the first time in a teachable paperback, a variety of historical materials....Makes it possible, thereby, to teach both a full selection of Sidney's works (especially the poetic works) and the creation of the Sidney legend."--Sixteenth Century Journal
