		The Rye House conspirator, Algernon Sydney, was Sir Philip's great-nephew.
		In it, Sidney partially nativized the key features of his Italian model, Petrarch: variation of emotion from poem to poem, with the attendant sense of an ongoing, but partly obscure, narrative; the philosophical trappings; the musings on the act of poetic creation itself.
		Sidney wrote an early version during a stay at Mary Herbert's house; this version is narrated in a straightforward, sequential manner.

	Sidney, Sir Philip (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sir Philip Sidney (1554-86) was the first in a line of English poet-critics, and although his poetic writings (Astrophil and Stella and the Arcadia) exhibit a reflexivity about both the craft and function of poetry, his importance to the history of literary theory rests on a single work, the Apology for Poetry.
		This definition allows Sidney to construct a hierarchy in which poetry is seen to be superior both to history (because poetry is not tethered to a description of actual events, as history is) and to philosophy (because poetry is accessible in its presentation, and its wisdom has practical effects, as philosophy's does not).
		Sidney's reference to the visual arts as analog is derived from the Horatian ut pictura poesis, a precept that remained important to literary and aesthetic theory until the nineteenth century.

		Sidney’s introduction to the court of Elizabeth took place in 1575, and within two years he was sent back to the Continent on a number of diplomatic commissions, when he used every opportunity for the furthering of the interests of Protestantism.
		Sidney’s literary work was all published after his death, some of it against his express desire.
		It was in answer to this that Sidney composed his “Defense of Poesy,” an eloquent apology for imaginative literature, not unmingled with humor.

		Sidney's death had, for England and her allies, the sort of symbolic and emotional significance which the twentieth century attached to those of President Kennedy and the Princess of Wales.
		Mary Sidney, his mother, was a Dudley, the daughter of the Duke of Northumberland; through her, Philip was related to a remarkable group of aunts and uncles, all of whom were powerful in their own right or married to powerful men.

		Sidney’s sonnets rehearse a poetic passion, to which the verse of Petrarch and his disciples supplied the leading cue.
		Although Sidney’s professions of originality cannot be accepted quite literally, he may justly be reckoned the first Englishman to indicate the lyric capacity of the sonnet.
		It was, indeed, with the posthumous publication of Sidney’s sonnet-sequence, Astrophel and Stella, in 1591, that a sonneteering rage began in Elizabethan England.

		Sidney nevertheless rallied the troops as best he could, and, going to the relief of the garrison at Zutphen, 22 September 1586, was wounded in the thigh by a musket ball.
		Sidney's famous essay is said to be a response to an attack on poetry and stage plays, which had been dedicated to him without his permission, by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright: The Schoole of Abuse, 1579.
		Sidney hammers this point home by his argument on "lies." Poets are accused of lying, since there is no necessary connection between their models and observed phenomena.

	Sir Philip Sidney, "Astrophil and Stella"
		Sidney was praised by those of his generation as the consummate courtier, the man who best exemplified the social, political, and aesthetic qualities demanded of those who served the queen and her state.
		Sidney's family was politically powerful, and Sir Philip more than once entered into political debates which angered Elizabeth I and her advisers.
		Sidney's sonnets often pursue in miniature the formal experiments we see in the grand structures of the double sestina ("Ye Goatherd Gods," see above) or the overarching patterns in the sonnet cycle as a whole.

		Philip’s ancestor, William de Sidney, who is presumed to have emigrated from France, served Henry as Chamberlain of his household.

		Sidney who was indeed acclaimed the 'English Petrarch', nevertheless wrote with his Elizabethan readers in mind as his characters spoke in English accents, voiced English concerns and evoked the spirit of the time.
		In fact Sidney's depiction of the male protagonist is one which makes some critics and readers empathize with him during his lamentations and praise of Stella.
		The autobiographical element is evident and the sonnets voice Sidney's desires, regrets, and conflicts of conscience, which resulted from the social pressures and moral restraints of his time.

	Sidney's Arcadia at the University of Utah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sidney was an idealist and a statesman first; one of the reasons he found so much time for writing was that his commitment to idealism brought him disfavor in the eyes of Queen Elizabeth, culminating in his unwanted advice concerning her marriage.
		Sidney was influenced in his education by the study of Machiavelli, and this influence is reflected in Amphialus, who feels justified in shedding the blood of numerous innocents (Argalus and Parthenia, most notably) in seeking the favor of Philoclea.
		Sidney was certainly not convinced of the principle of ends justifying the means; Amphialus regrets the deaths of these two characters, and is finally brought to question his own identity as a man driven by passion.

	Astrophil Stella Essays - Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophil and Stella
		The literary fortunes of Sir Philip Sidney illustrate nicely the contrast between the Elizabethan and twentieth century views on imitation and originality in literature.
		Sidney's sequence of 108 sonnets entitled Astrophil and Stella which appeared at the end of the sixteenth century drew immediate praise from English readers who appreciated his "blend of wit and sensibility, of intellectual brilliance and temperamental ardour" (Lever 53); they liked especially the "directness and spontaneity" (53) of the poems.
		Sidney himself contributed to his reputation for sincerity with the immortal lines of first sonnet: "Biting my truant pen, beating my self for spite, / Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write." Teachers repeat this good advice endlessly.
