Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophil and Stella initiated the vogue for sonnet sequences in the 1590s, but has its purpose been mistaken? Focusing on the sonnet sequences of Philip and Robert Sidney, Fulke Greville, Giordano Bruno, Mary Wroth, Henry Constable, Barnabe Barnes, and Michael Drayton, this book reveals a previously unrecognized patterning in their arrangements that ties these most popular `hymns to love' to broader cosmological concerns.
