Zusatztext The level of scholarship on display is deeply impressive; not only has Stewart obviously spent a considerable amount of time in archive and library collections, but he has also provided remarkably detailed commentaries accompanying each work. This edition will be considered definitive until new witnesses are (as they inevitably will be) uncovered.

He is the author of biographies of Francis Bacon (with Lisa Jardine, 1998), Philip Sidney (2003) and James VI and I (2003), and of Shakespeare's Letters (2008).
