Synopsis

This book analyzes the role of romance as a catalyst in remaking Arcadia in five, canonical sixteenth-century texts: Sannazaro's Arcadia; Montemayor's La Diana; Cervantes' La Galatea; Sidney's Arcadia; and Lope de Vega's Arcadia. Collins' analyses of the re-imagined Arcadia in these works elucidate the interplay between timely incursions into the fictional world and the timelessness of art, highlighting issues of freedom, identity formation, subjectivity and self-fashioning, the intersection of public and private activity, and the fascination with mortality.
