From Theocritus's Idylls to James Cameron's Avatar, Arcadia remains an enduring presence
in world culture and a persistent source of creative inspiration. Why does Arcadia
still exercise such a powerful pull on the imagination? This book responds by arguing
that in sixteenth-century Europe, a dramatic shift took place in imagining 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.
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; and Lope de Vega's
Arcadia. Collins's analyses of the re-imagined Arcadia in these works elucidate the
interplay between timely incursions into the fictional world and the timelessness
of art, highlighting issues of freedom, identity formation, subjectivity and self-fashioning,
the intersection of public and private activity, and the fascination with mortality
