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').
Stella means "star" in Latin. This name was created by the 16th-century poet Sir Philip Sidney for the subject of his collection of sonnets 'Astrophel and Stella'. It was not commonly used as a given name until the 19th century. It appears in Tennessee Williams' play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' (1947), belonging to the sister of Blanche DuBois and the wife of Stanley Kowalski. In Old English Stella also means In German Stella means a shining light.
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).
"Cold Comfort Farm" was written by Stella Gibbons and published in 1932. It is a satirical novel that parodies the rural English literature popular at the time.
It was written by lead singer of all time low alex gaskarth and Matt squire.
