Book Description:

Anne Weamys's Arcadia offers an alternate perspective on the genre of historical romance. Shorter and comparatively more direct than the form of its derivation, the Continuation of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia exploits the genre's capacity for fantasy and nuance while celebrating its more subversive uses as political statement.
