On 17 October 1586 Sidney died in battle at Arnhem in the United Netherlands. Less than a week later, his corpse was transported to Flushing, of which Sidney had been Governor, and in the following year Sidney's body was "interr'd in stately Pauls", as recorded by Anne Dudley Bradstreet—the first known poet of the British North American colonies. While Bradstreet is omitted from most early modern and contemporary literary accounts of Sidney's legacy, this article demonstrates that Bradstreet's commemoration of Sidney from across the Atlantic presents new insights into his afterlife and the female poet's formulations of early modern nationhood. Bradstreet's first formal poem, "An Elegie upon that Honorable and renowned Knight, Sir Philip Sidney" (comp. 1637–8), was a tribute to Sidney as well as to her own Anglo-American literary heritage and England's rolls. Bradstreet exhibits her complex relationship to Sidney along the same lines that she reconceives her English identity. A comparison of the two published seventeenth-century editions of Bradstreet's elegiac poem (1650, 1678) shows how she translates descent and lineage from kinship (and kingship) into poetic creation. In the process, Bradstreet takes her place not only as a "semi-Sidney", as Josuah Sylvester characterized Sidney's descendants, but also as a Sidneian Muse—in America. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2021 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
