Loyal Subject? By: James H. Nisenson Military maneuvers and comedy have one thing in common: Timing is everything. Samuel C. Horsenail has just been discharged from the British Navy, landing in Boston in May 1772, a little over two years after the Boston Massacre. With his guile, Horsenail is able to purchase a “hardscrabble” farm just outside of the city, but he must indenture himself and his family to the land—that means his wife gets to come to America, but her battle axe of a mother comes too. As the American Revolution sweeps through the colonies, the fast-talking con artist Horsenail toes the line between loyal subject and new-world patriot, playing both sides of the battlefield in a two-sided cloak. Embarrassingly funny and shockingly topical, this good-natured spoof of the American Revolution is one part fact and three parts farse.

A discussion of Philip Sidney as a creator of fictions, a critic, and a poet, who adopted a variety of personae to teach his readers how they could fool themselves into forgetting who they were, both in the context of the psychic inner world and in the outer realm of social position. Included in this study are Sidney's court entertainments now known as The Lady of May, the Defence of Leicester, Defence of Poetry, and the Arcadias.
