Best Answer

Philip Sidney was a young Protestant aristocrat who wrote manuscript poems and died in the Battle of Zutphen. His poems, a book called the defence of poetry, and some translations of Christian tracts and the Psalms were published, and became great successes. He was poetically gifted, and his courageous death in battle ensured that he remained a hero in the collective imagination of English society for decades.
