The Ashgate Research Companion to The Sidneys, 1500-1700 assesses the current state of scholarship on members of the Sidney family and their impact, as historical and/or literary figures, in the period 1500-1700.

Volume 2: Literature

Begins with an exploration of the Sidneys' books and manuscripts and how they circulated, followed by an overview of the contributions of family members - Sir Philip Sidney; Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke; Lady Mary Wroth; Robert Sidney, Earl of Leicester; and William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke - in the genres of prose romance, drama, poetry, psalms and prose.

These essays outline major controversies and areas for further research, as well as conducting literary analysis.
