Blair Worden examines Philip Sidney’s Arcadia not merely as a work of romantic fiction, but as a sophisticated vehicle for 16th-century political thought. Through a meticulous analysis of the text’s evolution and its reception within the Elizabethan court, the author reveals how Sidney embedded complex arguments regarding governance, virtue, and the role of the aristocracy within his narrative prose.
