en-wikipedia-org-2291		Astrophel and Stella - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1452	136	77	The title page of the second edition of Astrophil and Stella (1591), from the British Library's holdings Probably composed in the 1580s, Philip Sidney's Astrophil and Stella is an English sonnet sequence containing 108 sonnets and 11 songs. Some have suggested that the love represented in the sequence may be a literal one as Sidney evidently connects Astrophil to himself and Stella to Lady Penelope Devereux, afterward Lady Rich. Many of the poems were circulated in manuscript form before the first edition was printed by Thomas Newman in 1591, five years after Sidney's death. Though still not completely free from error, this was prepared under the supervision of his sister the Countess of Pembroke and is considered the most authoritative text available.[3] All known versions of Astrophil and Stella have the poems in the same order, making it almost certain that Sidney determined their sequence.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2291.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2291.txt
