This two-volume Ashgate Research Companion assesses the current state of scholarship on family members and their impact, as historical and literary figures, in the period 1500-1700. Volume 1: Lives, begins with an overview of the Sidneys and politics, providing some links to court events, entertainments, literature, and patronage. The volume gives biographies to prominent high-profile Sidney women and men, as well as sections assessing the influence of the family in the areas of the English court, international politics, patronage, religion, public entertainment, the visual arts, and music.

It had to be night time; otherwise I'd get a bad dose of sunburn and it’s not every night you see a skimpily-dressed, curvy blonde with a white stick tapping her way along a dimly-lit city street with her hand outstretched in angst and desperation. I laugh when I think about the excuse the guy will give his wife when he gets home minus his wallet, watch and any rings he was wearing, looking pale and tired with a whopping great love-bite and two punctures on his neck after having trying to have his way with me down a dark entry. They say being blind has its disadvantages. Maybe, but not if you’re a vampire, a female one that is....

Belfast, Northern Ireland. He stood there, towering above her. He inspected himself in the mirror, standing as if on parade, resplendent in his dark blue police officer’s uniform, the RUC badge shining brightly on his collar. She looked up at her father. She sensed his love. It was a sharing love, love for her, her mother and her siblings. Although she knew the answer, she asked him, “Are you going to work now Da?” He looked down at his nine-year-old daughter, wearing her grey school blazer and a pleated navy blue skirt. Hitching up his trouser legs, he squatted down before her. “Duty calls, my sweet.” The girl smiled. It was a smile of innocence, and it warmed his heart. She said in earnest, “I want to be a police officer when I’m old enough.” The smile came easily to his lips as he gazed at her tenderly. “Whatever you are in this life, Bettina Connor, do it to the best of your ability, and always be true to yourself.” He kissed her on the cheek and rose up. He took his cap off the hook and placed it squarely on his head. “See you at tea time, Bettina darlin’.” He opened the front door and strolled down the pathway. He turned at the gate and waved. She smiled as she waved back, and then closed the door. She walked along the hallway, looking forward to the evening. At the end she stopped and turned in horror, staring at the door, she ran forward on deadened feet. She called out to him, ‘Dada! Dada, don’t!” Her screams echoed along the hallway, as she heard the car starter turning. The following explosion blew down the house door, bowled the girl over, and sent her flying along the hallway to crash through the kitchen swing door and land in a bundle on the floor.

Excerpt...The Time Traveller Dear Melanie. I hope my parting was met with the sorrow I deserved, and that my wishes were fulfilled. Do you remember the time we went for a ride on a dog sleigh while your mother was giving birth to your brother Michael. Do you remember seeing the big white bear on the ice flow? You are probably aware that polar bears have been extinct since the year 2053 and the ice at both poles has long since disappeared. You were eleven and changing into a woman; I thought to tell you then, but I decided it best to wait a while longer. Mrs Mirren, or Marjory, will have mentioned my long periods of seclusion in the attic. I wish you to go there now. You will find the key in the right-hand drawer of my desk....... .....You see my dear; you are now in possession of a time machine. WHATEVER YOU DO, ALWAYS RETURN ONE NANO-SECOND AFTER YOU DEPARTED, AND NEVER BEFORE, AS THIS WILL CAUSE AN IRREVERSABLE ANOMALY. If the instructions are not clear, read them through once more. Please ensure that this device does not leave your possession. If such an occasion should arise, do your utmost to destroy the device, preferably by fire. And, remember this, you have no moral right to change the future, for things don’t always turn out the way you plan them. Go visit the future, say hello to yourself, it won’t be a shock to you as you know of it beforehand. Goodbye, Henry Jones.
