Abstract
This chapter studies Sidney's writings in detail and develops two models for thinking about how their own internal dynamics condition the relationship between Sidney and his followers and imitators: dialogue and incompletion. The first is framed with reference to the literary and philosophical tradition of dialogue, as well as to the literary theory of Bakhtin and the hermeneutics of Gadamer. The second centres its thinking around the rhetorical figure aposiopesis (the broken sentence) and looks at broken sentences and other kinds of interruption in Sidney's writings. Both models make use of the classical and Renaissance theory of rhetoric, and especially of rhetoric books based on Sidney's own writings, by Fraunce and Hoskyns. Both offer readers and later writers a way of thinking of Sidney's texts as open, dialogic, starting conversations, asking questions, leaving things unsaid, and therefore in need of some kind of response.
