Part of the considerable power and appeal of this work is its reduction of the heroic romance to a smaller scale. In its shorter length and its comparatively direct style, it avoids the fustian and bloat of the form. At the same time, it elaborates on the genre's stronger points--its playfulness and fantasy, its explorations of the nuances of sensibility--while not sacrificing its capacity for political statement. Weamys's \u003cem\u003eArcadia\u003c\/em\u003e is an interesting and accessible story that, while it pairs well with Sidney, can stand on its own or be paired with other writers of romance like Shakespeare or Spenser. The 0irst appearance of the text since the seventeenth century, this volume includes both a modernized and an old-spelling edition of the text.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Continuation of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia | Anna Weamys | Paperback | 9780195087192 | Used: Like New | Literary Criticism 1728370","offer_id":50891562057986,"sku":"1728370","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51bYNqWw7IL.jpg?v=1793125033","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/continuation-of-sir-philip-sidneys-arcadia","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
