An epic by an author with this surname served as the source of King Lear’s Gloucester subplot and ended mid-sentence three books into a revision by its author, leading to the proliferation of “Old” and “New” versions. The Wilton circle was led by a poet with this maiden name, whose niece’s patronage of Ben Jonson inspired Jonson’s country house poem “To Penshurst.” The title taken by a poet with this surname after marriage to Henry Herbert names a poem by her brother, the author of The (15[1])Defence of Poesy and an epic about the duke (*) Basilius and his daughter Philoclea. That poet with this surname observed “with how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb’st the skies” in the 31st entry of a sonnet sequence about a pair of characters whose names mean “Star” and “Star-lover.” For 10 points, give this surname of the Elizabethan author of Arcadia and Astrophil and Stella, Philip. ■END■
