		Summary: Mary Herbert addresses her brother's soul and her manuscript's readers, asking the latter to witness her attempt to praise him despite the mangled condition of the poems, to her mind incompletely revised in the state they were left when her brother died.
		If you ever have worked in a collaborative writing project, to what aspect of that experience would that correlate, and how is it magnified by the fact that this is the sixteenth century and the author who is "turning in the paper" is female, whereas her collaborator is male (and dead!).

	Edmund Spenser, Mary Sidney, and the Doleful Lay. by Pamela Coren (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		All arguments to date rest on uncertain ground: Spenser's relationship with the Sidneys (undergoing rapid reduction), Mary Sidney's known writings and possible ascriptions to her, the practice of men writing for women's voices, and, most bedeviling, the notion of the "impersonal" Elizabethan pastoral style, which allows attributions to be dealt and played with speculative generosity.
		The period 1590-95 was Mary Sidney's most active as translator and as editor of her brother's works.
		Elsewhere in his poetry Mary Sidney is always the living reminder of her dead brother, and a peerless woman among women.

	Was the Bard a Woman? - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com
		Sister of the Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney, she was a poet herself and one of the best-educated woman in England, along with Elizabeth I. Perhaps not surprisingly, her name has surfaced before as a possible collaborator on Shakespeare's plays, although never until now as a candidate in her own right.
		Gary Waller, a Sidney scholar at Purchase College in New York, has called her salon "a seedbed of literary revolution" and Sidney herself "the first major female literary figure in England." With her vast library, education and command of foreign languages, Sidney also had the means to create the works.
		It would explain why Shakespeare wrote love sonnets to a younger man. (Sidney had a younger lover, Matthew Lister.) It could clarify why the first compilation of Shakespeare's plays, the First Folio of 1623, was dedicated to the earls of Pembroke and Montgomery (her sons).

		Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke (1561-1621), worked in close collaboration with her brother, Sir Philip Sidney, and oversaw publication of his works after his death.
		Mary Sidney is traditionally known because of her famous brother, Philip, but her works of translation stand on their own as examples of what makes the Renaissance a re-birth - attention to English as a language worthy of transmitting great thoughts.
		Sidney's translation of the Psalms is colored by her Protestant Englishness, but she resists outright polemics by evincing more influence from the Geneva Bible than from the Book of Common Prayer.

		Scenes like the “dance of the dead” in the amusement park or the gripping moments where Mary is totally ignored by the rest of the world were very effective and way spooky.
		Candace Hilligoss (Mary) gives a focused performance as the distant woman grasping to understand what’s happening to her and the world around her.
		Sidney Berger (John) is also dead-on as the horny slime ball; he gives an enjoyable performance and his scenes with Hilligoss are very engaging.

	Senior Project -- Lady Mary Wroth -- Mary Hardtke -- University of Minnesota Duluth
		Although her remarkable literary heritage may have inspired Lady Mary to write, it was her uniquely creative spirit that enabled her to express her feminine beliefs as she navigated herself and her art across the Renaissance gender barriers.
		Following the controversy, Lady Mary continued to write a second, unpublished part to the Urania, in which she addresses the social prominence of illegitimate children who are judged upon their individual merit rather than their birth status.
		Sir Sidney came to his daughter's defense, "insisting that his daughter has handled her own affairs since widowhood" (Roberts, Poems of LMW 39), and by 1624 she had succeeded in repaying half of all her debts.

	Renaissance Forum: v2no1 (Spring 1997): Richard Danson Brown
		Sidney's birth mirrors Christ's in the text's perception of him as a nonpareil of human virtue: though not born of a virgin, nonetheless Sidney is a 'sacred brood' blessed with heavenly gifts.
		This typological connection between Christ and Sidney is reinforced by Verlame's mythologising of the skirmishes in the Netherlands; 19 Sidney 'chooses' 'that guiltie hands of enemies' should kill him in the same way that Christ foresees and sanctions the pattern of his death in the Gospels.
		Sidney is 'immortall' both 'here' on earth and 'there' in heaven as a result of his excellence as a man and a poet.

		In contrast to previous studies that have portrayed Mary Sidney as a demure, retiring woman, this biography shows that she was actually an outspoken and dynamic figure.
		Basing her work on primary sources including account books, legal documents, diaries, and family letters, Hannay shows that Sidney was a vibrant, eloquent, self-assertive woman who was deeply involved in Protestant politics.
		As a Phoenix rising from her brother's ashes, she transcended gender restrictions by publishing her brother's writings, by writing and translating works which he would have approved, by assuming his role as literary patron, and by supporting the cause for which he died.
