Sir Philip Sidney and the Circulation of Manuscripts, 1558-1640 is
the first modern study of the production and circulation of
manuscripts during the English Renaissance. H. R. Woudhuysen
examines the relationship between manuscript and print, looks at
people who lived by their pens, and surveys authorial and scribal
manuscripts, paying particular attention to the copying of verse,
plays, and scholarly works by hand. He investigates the
professional production of manuscripts for sale by scribes such as
Ralph Crane and Richard Robinson. The second part of the book
examines Sir Philip Sidney's works in the context of Woudhuysen's
research, discussing all Sidney's important manuscripts, and seeks
to assess his part in the circulation of his works and his role in
the promotion of a scribal culture. A detailed examination of the
manuscripts and early prints of his poems, of his Arcadias, and of
Astrophil and Stella sheds new light on their composition,
evolution, and dissemination, as well as on Sidney's friends and
admirers. Based on the examination of hundreds of manuscripts, this
book presents much new material describing manuscript production in
the fields of literature, politics, the law, and historical,
scientific, and antiquarian studies.
