Publisher's Synopsis

The Correspondence of Philip Sidney and Hubert Languet is a collection of letters exchanged between two influential figures of the 16th century - Philip Sidney, an English poet, courtier, and soldier, and Hubert Languet, a French diplomat and Reformed theologian. The letters were written between 1573 and 1580, during a period of political and religious turmoil in Europe.The correspondence covers a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, literature, and personal matters. Sidney and Languet discuss their views on the Protestant Reformation, the role of the monarch in government, and the state of European politics. They also exchange ideas about literature and poetry, with Sidney sharing his own works and seeking Languet's feedback.The letters provide valuable insights into the intellectual and cultural milieu of the Elizabethan era, as well as the personal lives and friendships of two prominent figures. The correspondence also sheds light on the complex political and religious alliances of the time, as Sidney and Languet navigate their own loyalties and beliefs.Overall, The Correspondence of Philip Sidney and Hubert Languet is a fascinating glimpse into the minds and lives of two influential figures of the Renaissance period, and a valuable resource for scholars and students of history, literature, and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
