Did masculine honour exist in the private sphere in Renaissance England? This key question is the cornerstone of the dissertation. We challenge earlier interpretations of honour and privacy in order to arrive at our understanding of private masculine honour of that period. Our methodology for this dissertation involves identifying an early modern English nobleman who had in his collection a body of work pertinent to the subject of masculine honour in the private realm. In Robert Sidney, the first Earl of Leicester (1563-1626) we find an exemplar, who was a rich fount of material through a varied set of media, such as his letters that he wrote to his wife, his unpublished sonnets and love poems, and the miniature portrait he had commissioned of himself. We make an argument about how these writings and artwork might be considered private, and then proceed to analyse them across the first three chapters in order to determine the meaning behind private masculine honour in early modern England. Having thus established our definition of private honour, in the last chapter we investigate its manifestation through domestic tragedies authored at the time, thereby showing how widespread was this concept in Renaissance England.Under Queen Elizabeth's reign, we begin to see a merging of private and public, which led to the emergence of new forms of masculine honour, across different media. My study explores how the aspect of "feminine virtues" steadily pervaded the realm of male-oriented discourse, as can be seen through conduct literature intended for husbands and courtiers, and various funeral sermons. Such a study reveals that conventional notions of masculine honour need to be revised to include how noblemen acted within the private circles. In a time when masculine honour was intertwined with militaristic qualities (such as courage, strength and fortitude), my investigation shows that in the domestic sphere, a gentler version of masculinity, encouraging humility, constancy and modesty, was fostered amongst the nobility.
