This exhibit considers intertextuality in a corpus consisting of the literary works of the Sidney family: Mary Sidney Herbert (Lady Pembroke), Mary Sidney (Lady Wroth), Robert Sidney, and Philip Sidney. In particular, it examines an apparent intertextual gap between Wroth and Pembroke, who are known to have had a close and friendly relationship. By examining this gap through close and distant reading methods, this exhibit explores the larger question of how a shift in methods alters our understanding of historical intertextuality.
