Sir Philip Sidney (1554-86) was an English poet and courtier who is
now seen as one of the most influential English writers of the
sixteenth century. Born into a politically active family, Sidney is
best known for his works Astrophel and Stella, a story in sonnet
form which popularised this literary genre in England, and Arcadia,
a romance which was the first English vernacular work to be
published on the continent. This volume, published in the first
series of English Men of Letters in 1886 by literary scholar John
Addington Symonds (1840-93), provides a concise biography of a
fascinating character. Describing Sidney's childhood, European
travels and time spent as a courtier, and his heroic death, this
biography draws together previous scholarship on Sidney to provide
a valuable account of his life and of contemporary English and
continental influences on his work.
