Sidney Lee

    Sir Sidney Lee fut un biographe et critique anglais influent dont l'œuvre s'est principalement concentrée sur les auteurs et les hommes d'État de l'époque élisabéthaine. Il devint une figure centrale grâce à ses contributions considérables au Dictionary of National Biography et, de manière notable, à sa biographie approfondie de William Shakespeare. L'analyse critique et les efforts éditoriaux de Lee, y compris son travail sur le Premier Folio de Shakespeare, ont établi des bases fondamentales pour l'étude littéraire ultérieure.
