Richard James Wood

Sidney's Arcadia and the conflicts of virtue

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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. -- .
