philip sidney's
astrophel and stella is an english
sonnet sequence containing 108
sonnets and 11 songs. The name derives from the two greek words, 'aster' (star) and 'phil' (lover), and the latin word 'stella' meaning star. Thus astrophel is the star lover, and stella is his star. Sidney partly nativized the key features of his italian model
petrarch, including an ongoing but partly obscure narrative, the philosophical trappings of the poet in relation to love and desire, and musings on the art of poetic creation. Sidney also adopts the petrarchan
rhyme scheme, though he uses it with such freedom that fifteen variants are employed.

some have suggested that the love represented within the sequence may be a literal one as sidney evidently connects astrophel to himself and stella to
penelope rich, the wife of a courtier. Payne and hunter suggest that modern criticism, though not explicitly rejecting this connection, leans more towards the viewpoint that writers happily create a poetic persona, artificial and distinct from themselves.
