Life of Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Artist: Isaac Oliver. Portrait of a Young Man, said to be Sir Philip Sidney Sir Philip Sidney was born on November 30, 1554, at Penshurst , Kent. He was the eldest son of Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland, and nephew of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester . He was named after his godfather, Philip II of Spain. After private tutelage, he entered Shrewsbury School at the age of ten in 1564, on the same day as Fulke Greville , who became his fast friend and, later, his biographer. After attending Christ Church, Oxford , (1568-1571) he left without taking a degree in order to complete his education by travelling the continent. Among the places he visited were Paris, Frankfurt, Venice, and Vienna. Sidney returned to England in 1575, living the life of a popular and eminent courtier. In 1577, he was sent as ambassador to the German Emperor and the Prince of Orange . Officially, he had been sent to condole the princes on the deaths of their fathers. His real mission was to feel out the chances for the creation of a Protestant league. Yet, the budding diplomatic career was cut short because the Queen found Sidney to be perhaps too ardent in his Protestantism, the Queen preferring a more cautious approach. Upon his return, Sidney attended the court of Elizabeth I and actively encouraged such authors as Edward Dyer Greville , and most importantly, the young Edmund Spenser , who dedicated The Shepheardes Calender to him.

Contact Us Sir Philip Sidney 1554 - 1586 The names Astrophil and Stella mean Star-lover and Star, suggesting the impossibility of their union because of the distance between them The sixteenth century was a time of scientific, historical, archaeological, religious and artistic exploration. More attention was being allotted to probing into the depths of the human psyche and it was up to the artists and poets rather than the priests and scholars to examine and mirror these internal landscapes. The 'little world of man' [1] was reflected through various artistic forms, one of which was the sonnet, which was conventionally used for dedications, moral epigrams and the like. Traditionally most sonnets dealt with the theme of romantic love and in general the sonneteer dealt with the over-riding concern of the self and the other, the latter of which normally referred to a mistress, friend, or a familial relation. One of the first important artistic creations witnessed by the Elizabethans was Sidney's sonnet sequence called

15. "Gender And Genre In The Sonnet Sequences Of Philip Sidney And Mary Wroth" By Je A scholarly essay from Deep South . http://www.otago.ac.nz/DeepSouth/vol2no1/laws.html

"Gender and Genre in the Sonnet Sequences of Philip Sidney and Mary Wroth" Jennifer Laws University of Otago Department of English Deep South v.2 n.1 (Autumn, 1996) Deep South, Department of English, University of Otago, P. O. Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand. A version of this paper was read at the ANZAMRS Conference in Brisbane, January 29/February 2 1996. But Stella does not just live in the mind of Astrophil. Gradually we gain a sense of her as an individual being in her own right. Circumstantial details enable us to picture her in action: as we have seen, in 59 she plays with her dog; and at other times she attends tournaments (41 and 53), or reads aloud Astrophil's poetry (57 and 58). And she is given a historical reality. This in itself is not unusual for a sonnet lady Petrarch's Laura was supposedly an actual woman. But Sidney goes out of his way to connect Stella with Penelope Rich: he puns on the name "Rich" in Sonnet 24; the point is driven home in 35; and in 37, the name "Rich" is spat out six times. It is, however, in the latter part of the sequence that Stella becomes most fully realised as we hear her own words. The importance of this lies not just in the fact that she speaks at all, but, as Thomas Roche has pointed out, in what she says. And what she says is that she loves Astrophil a most extraordinary turnaround for a sonnet lady. We first learn of this in Sonnet 62 in which Astrophil reports her saying "That love she did" and then we hear this sentiment from her own lips in Song 8:

How often, think you, do the physicians lie, when they aver things good for sicknesses, which afterwards send Charon a great number of souls drowned in a potion before they come to his ferry? And no less of the rest, which take upon them to affirm. Now, for the poet, he nothing affirms, and therefore never lieth. For as I take it, to lie is to affirm that to be true which is false. So as the other artists, and especially the historian, affirming many things, can, in the cloudy knowledge of mankind, hardly escape from many lies. Though all human activity constructs with unknown materials toward an unknown end, the construction of texts in which no referent to a given particular need be specified releases the author from the charge of libel. This is a significant advantage in Sidney's cultural setting.
