LibriVox recording of Astrophil and Stella, by Sir Philip Sidney. Read by Elizabeth Klett.
Astrophil and Stella is a sonnet sequence written by Philip Sidney, an Elizabethan poet and courtier. It details the frustrated love of Astrophil (whose name means "star-lover") for his beloved Stella (whose name means "star"). It is likely that Sidney based his poems on his own unrequited passion for a married woman. The sequence inspired other sonnet writers of the period, such as Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, and Lady Mary Wroth.

Astrophil and Stella
Elizabeth Klett's clear, intelligent and beautiful reading of these poems is a delight. 16th century English has never been better read.
