SIR Pl-llLIP SIDNEY'S LITERATURE
AND ELIZABErnAN POLITICS
Richard
C.
McCoy
McCoy shows how Sidney's major works,
Astrophel and Stella
and the
Old
and the
New Arcadia,
reflect the ambiguity that
resulted from the poet's desire for creative autonomy conflicting
with the inhibitions of his life at the Elizabethan court.
"It seems to me that Richard McCc-y's [book] is a very important
one. It builds intelligently on earlier studies and it makes an
original and illuminating contribution of its own:'

Is criticism an endangered species?
Eugene Goodheart argues here, with vigor and style,
that contemporary criticism has lost its moral authority,
and he blames modernism for that loss.
"Every reader interested in our cultural plight, wheJe
it came from, and what might be done about it,
will
find
the book invaluable." - Wayne
