 | The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia
Written at the estate of the Countess of Pembroke, this work has been called the most original work of English prose fiction produced before the 18th century (William Ringler). Arcadia presents country life according to the Greek ideal, a world of shepherds and nymphs and an idyllic landscape. A melodrama about mistaken identity and love triangles, the piece includes several songs and poems that reveal Sidney`s interest in metrical experimentation, including an often-quoted dialogue between two shepherds ( Ye Goatherd Gods ) written as a double sestina of 12 stanzas.

This debut collection is marked by a Victorian sensibility. AUTHOR: Matthea Harvey
