 Sir Philip Sidney, On Line   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Other memoirs and elegies were published separately by a long and distinguished list of mourners, including Barnabe Barnes, Richard Barnfield, Nicholas Breton, William Byrd, Thomas Campion, Thomas Churchyard, Henry Constable, Samuel Daniel, Michael Drayton, Fulke Greville, George Peele, Sir Walter Ralegh, Edmund Spenser, George and Bernard Whetstone, and Sidney's sister, the Countess of Pembroke.
The work of Richard Lanham, Robert Eril Levine, Dorothy Connell, Richard McCoy, Alan Sinfield, and others placed new emphasis on such things as the irony and the playful unreliability of Sidney the narrator, the constant cross-currents of dialectically opposed values in the speeches of his characters, and the difficulty of judging their actions.
Perhaps for this reason, much criticism of the period turned on morally ambiguous scenes: Pyrocles's early debate with Musidorus about love, the lovers' conduct on the night of their elopements (especially in the original version), and the harsh judgments and extraordinary reversals that they undergo at the end of the book.
