Sidney Lee

    Sir Sidney Lee was een belangrijke Engelse biograaf en criticus wiens werk zich voornamelijk richtte op elisabethaanse auteurs en staatsmannen. Hij werd een sleutelfiguur door zijn uitgebreide bijdragen aan de Dictionary of National Biography en, opmerkelijk genoeg, zijn diepgaande biografie van William Shakespeare. Lee's kritische analyse en redactionele inspanningen, waaronder zijn werk aan Shakespeare's First Folio, legden een fundamentele basis voor latere literaire studies.
