Book Synopsis The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia (The Old Arcadia) by : Philip Sidney
Book excerpt: 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. The text was a vehicle for Sidney's ideas on versification.
