From Theocritus' Idylls to James Cameron's Avatar, Arcadia remains an enduring presence in world culture and a persistent source of creative inspiration. This book responds by arguing that in sixteenth-century Europe, a dramatic shift took place in imagining Arcadia. Why does Arcadia still exercise such a powerful pull on the imagination?
Emphasizing matters of fictional function and world-making over generic classification, Imagining Arcadia in Renaissance Romance analyzes the role of romance as a catalyst in remaking Arcadia in five, canonical sixteenth-century texts: Sannazaro's Arcadia; Montemayor's La Diana; Cervantes' La Galatea; Sidney's Arcadia; The traditional visions of Arcadia collided and fused with romance, the new experimental form of prose fiction, producing a hybrid, dynamic world of change and transformation.
