Excerpt from Sir Philip Sidney: Type of English Chivalry in the Elizabethan Age I am anxious to retract, and make such amends as I can for, one grave fault in the earlier volume. Careful thought and investigation have led me to repudiate the View there taken of the Astrophel and Stella episode; that is, of Sidney's connection with Lady Penelope Devereux, afterwards Lady Rich, and of the circumstances in which she became the hero ine of his sonnets. A blunder in noting down a wrong date, and consequently supposing that Lady Penelope's betrothal and marriage to Lord Rich took place in 1580 instead of 1581, partly misled me.
