Sir P.S.: His Astrophel and Stella
Author: Philip Sidney
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Sir Philip Sidney's 'Astrophel and Stella' is a groundbreaking sonnet sequence that explores themes of unrequited love, desire, and the complexities of relationships in the Elizabethan era. Written in a Petrarchan style, the poems reflect Sidney's deep knowledge of classical and Renaissance literature, showcasing his mastery of poetic form and language. The work is considered one of the finest examples of the English sonnet tradition, influencing later poets such as William Shakespeare and John Donne. Through vivid imagery and emotional depth, Sidney crafts a compelling narrative that captures the tumultuous nature of love and longing. Philip Sidney, a Renaissance poet, courtier, and soldier, was known for his intelligence, wit, and diplomatic skills. His diverse interests in literature, philosophy, and politics informed his writing, as seen in 'Astrophel and Stella.' Sidney's own experiences with love and courtship likely inspired the themes and emotions explored in the sonnet sequence, adding a personal touch to the work. I highly recommend 'Astrophel and Stella' to readers interested in English Renaissance poetry, sonnet sequences, or classic literature. Sidney's evocative language and profound exploration of love make this collection a timeless treasure worth exploring for both scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike.

Sir P. S. : His Astrophel and Stella

Pages : 76
Book Description
Probably composed in the 1580s, Philip Sidney's Astrophil and Stella is an English sonnet sequence containing 108 sonnets and 11 songs. The name derives from the two Greek words, 'aster' (star) and 'phil' (lover), and the Latin word 'stella' meaning star. Thus Astrophil is the star lover, and Stella is his star. Sidney partly nativized the key features of his Italian model Petrarch, including an ongoing but partly obscure narrative, the philosophical trappings of the poet in relation to love and desire, and musings on the art of poetic creation. Sidney also adopts the Petrarchan rhyme scheme, though he uses it with such freedom that fifteen variants are employed.
