Sir Fulke Greville’s ''Life of Sir Philip Sidney Etc.'' is a biography of Sir Philip Sidney, a prominent figure in Elizabethan England known for his poetry, courtly demeanor, and military service. The book was first published in 1652, several decades after Sidney’s death, and is considered one of the most important sources of information on his life and legacy.In addition to the biography of Sidney, the book also includes several other works by Greville, including a collection of his own poems and a treatise on politics and government. Greville was a close friend of Sidney’s and served as his secretary during his time as governor of Flushing, a Dutch port town.The biography itself is a detailed and comprehensive account of Sidney’s life, tracing his upbringing as a member of the powerful Sidney family, his education at Oxford, and his rise to prominence at the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Greville also delves into Sidney’s military campaigns, including his service in the Netherlands and his death on the battlefield at the age of 32.Throughout the book, Greville offers his own reflections on Sidney’s character and achievements, painting a portrait of a man who was not only a talented poet and soldier but also a devoted friend and loyal servant of the queen. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Elizabethan England, as well as for those interested in the life and legacy of one of its most celebrated figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
