Sidney's Poetry: Contexts and Interpretations
David Kalstone
Praised by his contemporaries as an “English Petrarke,” Sir Philip Sidney displayed an ironic hostility to a literary tradition of which he was one of the last representatives. The focus in this study is on Sidney’s conception of Italian genres (the pastoral and the Petrarchan sonnet in particular) and his energetic and complex recreations and repudiations of the old conventions. David Kalstone sees Sidney as a key figure in introducing features of continental poetry into England. His analysis illuminates both the influences on and the development of Sidney’s poetic practice and relates it to the solutions of such later love poets as Shakespeare and Donne.
