Philip Sidney was in his early twenties when he wrote his `Old'
Arcadia for the amusement of his younger sister, the Countess of
Pembroke. The book, which he called 'a trifle, and that triflingly
handled', reflects their youthful vitality. The `Old' Arcadia tells
a romantic story in a manner comparable to that of Shakespeare's
early comedies. It is divided into five `Acts', and abounds in
lively speeches, dialogues, and quasi-dramatic tableaux. Two young
princes, Pyrocles and Musidorus, disguise themselves as an Amazon
and a shepherd to gain access to the Arcadian Princesses, who have
been taken into semi-imprisonment by their father to avoid the
dangers foretold by an oracle. As a vehicle for Sidney's prophetic
ideas about English versification, the `Old' Arcadia also includes
over seventy poems in a wide variety of metres and genres. In
clarity, symmetry, and coherence the `Old' version is greatly
superior both to the ambitious but unfinished `New' Arcadia and the
amalgamated, `composite' version, a hybrid monster which Sidney
himself never envisaged. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years
