Who addresses his sonnets to Stella?

Astrophel and Stella is a sonnet sequence by Sir Philip Sidney. The sequence was first published in 1591, but there is evidence the sonnets were in private circulation during the 1580's. Many critics consider Astrophel and Stella the first sonnet sequence in English, and consider the book to have been stronly instrumental in furthering the sonnet craze of approximately 1580 - 1600. The sequence is a series of love sonnets between Astrophel (from Greek 'Star Lover') to Stella (Latin for 'Star').


What is a sonnet cycle?

A Sonnet Cycle is a set of sonnets that usually tell a story (often a love story of some kind). In English the two first sonnet cycles were Philip Sidney's Astrophel to Stella - which tells the story of Astrophel's love for Stella - and Samuel Daniel's Delia, which is very similar. Astrophel and Delia don't have much of a plotline (there is a faint one, if you read carefully), but W S Blunt's Esther has a clear story to tie the sonnets together (it is probably a heavily fictionalised account of his affair with Catherine Skittles Walters). A group of sonnets which share a common theme, but don't tell a story, is often called a Crown of Sonnets. If the unifying factor is a story of some kind, Sonnet Cycle is the preferred term. But many critics use Crown of Sonnets and Sonnet Cycle interchangeably (and few contemporary poets write either).
