Ben Jonson and Sidneian Legacies of Hospitality by Lisa Celovsky EN Jonson’s celebration of the Sidney family in “To Penshurst” has generatedsev erallines of critical inquir y. In general,scholars B have argued that Jonson offers Sidneian hospitalityas a model for readersto emulate.M ore particularlyso , me studies suggest thathis praise comments on changing political and economic conditionsin the period, especially with respect to the practicesof ambitious courtiers and the displacement of aristocratic reci procityby capitalist mo des of exchange. Otherstudies set the poem’s nostalgic dep iction of liberality againstth e family’s actual fin ancial pract ices and debts, or its represen- tationof idealized master-servant exchan ges againstactual la borco ndi- tions and status distinctions.
