Does a poet make himself, or do his culture and his fiction make
him? Sir Philip Sidney is one of the most popular and enduring of
Elizabethan authors, and one of those most preoccupied with the
relationship between self, society, and art. Edward Berry's The
Making of Sir Philip Sidney explores how Sidney 'made' or created
himself as a poet by 'making' representations of himself in the
roles of some of his most literary creations: Philisides,
Astrophil, and the intrusive persona of the Defence of Poetry.
Focusing on the significance of these and other
self-representations throughout Sidney's career, Berry combines
biography, social history, and literary criticism to achieve a
carefully balanced portrayal of the poet's life and work. This is a
book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of
Sidney, and is likely to appeal to both students and scholars of
Sidney, as well as to those wishing to understand the cultural
events that shaped this central figure of the English Renaissance.
