Ed_Shakes1: Sir Philip Sidney (1554-86) was the son of Sir Henry Sidney and Lady Mary Dudley, sister of Robert Sidney (a patron of the Arts). MSH was his youngest sister. Both were poets: he dedicated his Arcadia to her, which she rewrote after his death; and they wrote the Sidney Psalms.
Ed_Shakes1: The places where TRANSGRESS+ appears sometimes (6/15) strongly resemble the MSH style (e.g. KJ 1.1 263-8 Lady F; RoL 682-8 and 1529-35) but not always, despite a high overall letter/word mean of 4.22. It's possible that passages in e.g. LLL, MAAN and TGV are by Sir Philip Sidney.

nekomessiah144: Sir Philip Sidney was a Troubadour
nekomessiah144: That is to say, the Renaissance poets played games with language. They did so from the baseline of the Petrarchan sonnet, and Sir Philip Sidney stands out because he both played and commented on the playing—imitated Petrarch and criticized Petrarch—while mastering the form.
