Sidney, Sir Philip

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | © World Encyclopedia 2005, originally published by Oxford University Press 2005. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Sidney, Sir Philip (1554–86) English poet, diplomat, and courtier. Sidney's intricate romance Arcadia (1590) is the earliest example of pastoral in English. His love for Penelope Devereux inspired Astrophel and Stella (1591), the first English sonnet sequence. An Apology for Poetry (1595) is the most important critical work of the Elizabethan era.
