21. Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) BEULAH . Sir Philip Sidney. Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) was perhaps the single most important writer of the golden age of English Literature. http://www.eavb.co.uk/lp/sidney.html

SIR PHILIP SIDNEY Sidney's fictions are full of music. As we shall see, Stella sings, and the Arcadia is punctuated by moments where love-lorn characters sing to the lute or viol, fitting their words to popular tunes as Sidney had done. Penelope's voice seems to have been a fine one. Sidney writes about it, and in 1597 the French lutenist Charles Tessier attempted to win the patronage of her brother by writing his volume of Airs de Cour for her. When her second husband died, the composer Coprario published a volume of mourning songs, Funeral Tears (1606), explicitly for her to sing. If Sidney did love Penelope Rich, and if that love was returned, then it is in song that we should expect it to be commemorated. "O that most rare breast" is an unrhymed sonnet which Byrd sets in four sections as if it were rhymed on the English pattern, lines 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and 13-14. Although this song exists in a manuscript form, probably prior to its printing, as a solo song with consort accompaniment, it seems clearly envisaged as a full part song. To a lesser extent this is true also of "Come to me grief for ever", which is given a simpler treatment befitting its plainer lyric. A repeated musical rhythm for each phrase in the top part, a formally quantitative treatment of the Aristophanic metre of the words, enables six stanzas (the last repeating the first) to be set to the same music. This approach is likely to represent the sort of musical setting Sidney would have favoured. The metre is one used by Sidney in "Certain Sonnets" 25, and an overt tribute to his poetry seems to be intended.

ELIZABETHAN SONNETEERS (1885) By William Minto (SIDNEY) I. SIR PHILIP SIDNEY IN 1591 a volume of sonnets was issued under the editorship of Thomas Nash, containing Sidney's "Astrophel and Stella," twenty-eight sonnets by Samuel Daniel , and other poems by "Divers Noblemen and Gentlemen." The publication was most probably surreptitious: Daniel, who published his "Sonnets to Delia" in the following year, complained that "a greedy printer had published some of his sonnets along with those of Sir Philip Sidney"; and a corrected and authentic edition of Sidney's sonnets was issued before the close of 1591. The main attraction of Nash's volume was the "Astrophel and Stella" series of sonnets; this was the title of the work, the other poems being merely appended. The editor extolled Sidney with characteristic eloquence and extravagance. He apologises for commending a poet "the least syllable of whose name, sounded in the ears of judgment, is able to give the meanest line he writes a dowry of immortality." He deplores the long absence of England's Sun, and ridicules the gross fatty flames that have wandered abroad like hobgoblins with a wisp of paper at their tails in the middest eclipse of his shining perfections. "Put out your rush candles, you poets and rhymers," he cries; "and bequeath your crazed quatorzains to the chandlers; for lo! here he cometh that hath broken your legs." In the choice of ideas for his sonnets Sidney prided himself on being original.[

Sidney, Sir Philip English poet, courtier, and soldier, who in life was a model of the ideal Renaissance gentleman, and whose devotion to poetry served as an inspiration for the future of English verse. Sidney was born in Penshurst, Kent, and was educated at Christ Church College, Oxford. A favorite of Elizabeth I, he was sent on several diplomatic missions. He retired from court for a time after incurring the queen's displeasure, but in 1583 was restored to favor and knighted. In 1585 he was appointed governor of Vlissingen in the Netherlands, and in 1586 he joined an expedition sent to aid the Netherlands against Spain. Sidney died of wounds received in a raid on a Spanish convoy at Zutphen in the Netherlands. None of Sidney's works was published during his lifetime; many of them, however, circulated in manuscript. The best known are Astrophel and Stella (1591), a sequence of 108 sonnets celebrating a hopeless love affair, and Arcadia (1590), a pastoral romance in verse linked by prose passages; the first considerable work in English in this form, it became a model for later pastoral poetry. Sidney's Defence of Poesie (1595; known in a slightly different version as An Apologie for Poetrie, also 1595) was a prose essay that described the nature of poetry and defended it against Puritan objections to imaginative literature.

Sir Philip Sidney Sir Philip Sidney was born at Penshurst in Kent, the son of Sir Henry Sidney, Queen Elizabeth I's Lord Deputy of Ireland. He was educated at Shrewsbury and Christ Church, Oxford but left without taking a degree. His relationship with the Queen was, however, mostly an uneasy one and he was never awarded high office, although he served in Parliament and was appointed governor of Flushing in the Low Countries in 1585. He died from wounds received at Zutphen in 1586 and was mourned by the nation Most of Sidney's works appeared after his death, The Arcadia , a prose romance regarded by some as the first English novel; Astrophel and Stella , the first series of English sonnets written for Penelope, daughter of the Earl of Essex; and Apologie for Poetrie , a persuasive treatise extolling the value of literature. His influence of English writers was considerable, but was due in part to his posthumous reputation. The Bargain Song Voices at the Window Philomela ...

Sir Philip Sidney's Last Letter This epic hero, poet, statesman, soldier, and a favourite of Queen Elizabeth, was endowed to the highest degree with the human virtues. Given command of a force in the Netherlands by the Queen, he was shot in the thigh by a musket ball on September 22, 1586, while trying to intercept a convoy of provisions for the enemy during the Battle of Zutphen. Though a prey to burning thirst, he refused, in favour of a dying soldier, a cup of water that was brought to him, saying: "Thy need is greater than mine". He was only thirty-two, and clung to life. Though in the throes of death, he still had the strength to write to Jean Wyer (surgeon to the Duke of Cleves) the accompanying note, which we translate, the original being in Latin: My Weire, come come, I am in great peril of my life and I want thee. Neither living nor dead will I be ungrateful. I can do no more than earnestly pray that thou mayest hasten. Farewell. At Arnem. Thine. PH. Sidney. Unfortunately the letter arrived too late to be of use, for the gallant soldier died on the following day.

36. The Sidney Homepage - Biography Of Sir Philip Sidney Sir Philip Sidney (15541586). by Roger Kuin. Philip Sidney was born at Penshurst (Kent) at 445 am on Friday, November 30, 1554, the http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/sidney/sidney_biography.htm

Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) by Roger Kuin Philip Sidney was born at Penshurst (Kent) at 4:45 a.m. on Friday, November 30, 1554, the eldest son of Sir Henry Sidney and Lady Mary Dudley, eldest daughter of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland and sister of Robert, Earl of Leicester and Ambrose, Earl of Warwick. His father had been a close companion of the young King Edward VI, and continued to serve his country under Queen Mary and, later, Queen Elizabeth. From 1564 until 1568 Philip, with his lifelong friend Fulke Greville, attended Shrewsbury school, under Thomas Ashton, one of the age's notable educators. While Sidney was at Shrewsbury, Sir Henry was Lord Deputy of Ireland, where his attempts to rule with visible justice were continually thwarted by the fact that one of the two bitter rival nobles in his domain, the Earl of Ormond, was also a favourite of the Queen, resident at Court, a Privy Councillor, and an ally of Leicester's (and Sidney's) enemy the Earl of Sussex. Early in 1568, at the age of thirteen, Philip entered Christ Church, Oxford. Here he stayed three years and had as contemporaries and friends Richard Hakluyt the geographer and William Camden the historian. When Sidney was seventeen his uncle, the Earl of Leicester, sent him on a tour of the Continent, to learn languages and international relations. In May 1572 he crossed to France in a special embassy to Charles IX, with Leicester's recommendation to Sir Francis Walsingham, then resident ambassador in Paris. Here he met Hubert Languet (1518-1581), a Huguenot humanist and political observer for the Elector of Saxony, whose protégé, friend and correspondent he was to become for the next nine years. He also was caught up in the St Bartholomew's Massacre, when thousands of Protestants were slaughtered.

40. SIR PHILIP SIDNEY Sidney, Sir Philip (15541586), English poet, statesman and soldier, eldest son of Sir Henry Sidney and his wife Mary Dudley, was born at Penshurst on the 3oth http://21.1911encyclopedia.org/S/SI/SIDNEY_SIR_PHILIP.htm

SIR PHILIP SIDNEY SIDNEY, SIR PHILIP After meeting Don John of Austria at Louvain, March 1577, he proceeded to Heidelberg and Prague. He persuaded the electors brother, John Casimir, to consider proposals for a league of Protestant princes, and also for a conference among the Protestant churches. At Prague he ventured on a harangue to the emperor, advocating a general league against Spain and Rome. This address naturally produced no effect, but does not seem to have been resented as much as might have been expected. On the return journey he visited William of Orange, who formed a high opinion of Sidney. In April 1577 Mary Sidney married Henry Herbert, 2nd earl of Pembroke, and in the summer Philip paid the first of many visits to her at her new home at Wilton. But later in the year he was at court defending his fathers interests, particularly against the earl of Ormonde, who was doing all he could to prejudice Elizabeth against the lord deputy. Meanwhile he prosecuted his duties as a courtier and as member for Kent in parliament. On the 15th and 16th of May 1581 he was one of the four challengers in a tournament arranged in honor of the visit of the duke of Anjou. In 1579 Stephen Gosson had dedicated to Sidney his School of Abuse, an attack on the stage, and incidentally on poetry. Sidney was probably moved by this treatise to write his own Apologie for Poetrie, dating from about 1581. In 1583 he was knighted in order that he might act as proxy for Prince John Casimir, who was to be installed as Knight of the Garter, and in the autumn of that year he married Frances, daughter of his friend and patron Sir Francis Walsingham, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years of age. In 1584 he met Giordano Bruno at the house of his friend Fulke Greville, and two of the philosophers books are dedicated to him.
