About the book

Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophel and Stella is one of the great sonnet sequences of the English Renaissance. Through more than a hundred sonnets and songs, the speaker Astrophel reflects on his passionate and often conflicted love for Stella. The poems explore desire, virtue, frustration, self-knowledge and the power of poetry, combining emotional intensity with wit and formal invention.
