Book Synopsis Sidney’s Arcadia and the conflicts of virtue by : Richard James Wood
Book excerpt: Wood reads Philip Sidney's New Arcadia in the light of the ethos known as Philippism after the followers of the Protestant theologian, Philip Melanchthon. He uses a critical paradigm previously used to discuss Sidney's Defence of Poesy and narrows the gap often found between Sidney's theory and literary practice.
