Table of ContentsReviews'... the book is as beautifully written as anyone familiar with its author would expect... To call this a seminal book would be inadequate. It is the Sidney study for a generation. It answers the crucial questions that remained about his writing and his career in such a way as to be both completely convincing and stimulating to younger scholars. ... It will transform our understanding of that stellar Elizabethan and perhaps, by doing so, help answer many questions about the relations in that period between faith, public life, and literature.' Modern Philology 'The strength of Stillman's study - and a great strength it is - lies in the detailed reading of the Defence against specific treatises, such as Melanchthon's Loci communes and Elementorum rhetorices libri duo, and Mornay's De veritate religionis christianae and Vindiciae contra tyrannos. Critical analysis of this kind simply does not exist in Sidney studies. Philip Sidney and the Poetics of Renaissance Cosmopolitanism breaks new ground and will be a necessary text in the field for years to come.' Renaissance Quarterly '... the book is as beautifully written as anyone familiar with its author would expect... To call this a seminal book would be inadequate.

Modern Philology 'Stillman offers refreshing and invigorating challenges to new critical and new historicist treatments of Sidney... For scholars trained within the English canonical tradition, Stillman's work is a treasure of scholarly depth and deep insight about the larger world in which Sidney read, thought, and lived.'
