""The Correspondence of Sir Philip Sidney and Hubert Languet"" is a collection of letters exchanged between Sir Philip Sidney, an English poet, courtier, and soldier, and Hubert Languet, a French diplomat and Protestant reformer. The letters cover a period of six years, from 1572 to 1578, and provide insight into the political and religious climate of Europe during the late Renaissance period. The topics discussed in the letters range from the ongoing conflict between Catholics and Protestants to the personal lives of both men. The book also includes an introduction by the editor, Samuel A. Pears, which provides historical context and background information on the two correspondents.
