The collection includes various themes, with a notable focus on English literary history and figures, paying homage to poets and the natural beauty of England. The titular poem, "Astrophel," reflects on the legacy of Sir Philip Sidney, suggesting a blend of personal admiration and national pride. The beginning of "Astrophel and Other Poems" introduces readers to the eponymous poem that celebrates Sir Philip Sidney, particularly his notable work "Arcadia." The poem conveys a deep sense of reverence for the beauty of nature, love, and artistic expression while exploring the profound effects of past literary giants on the present. Through evocative imagery and lyrical language, Swinburne intertwines his reflections on mortality, the passage of time, and the enduring influence of Sidney, setting the stage for an exploration of themes related to memory, legacy, and the power of poetry.
