About this film

LibriVox recording of The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia by Sir Philip Sidney. Read in English by Nicole Lee Arcadia is a prose work by Sir Philip Sidney, a classic of the Renaissance pastoral and a work of high romance, a fleeting vision of a lost world of gallantry and adventure, representing an escape from the realities of politics in the Elizabethan court.
