Description:
The style of the Arcadia is simultaneously a prime source of humor and a major hindrance to its enjoyment. The immense length of this book requires that the reader take constant care to distinguish the variations in Sidney's style; as Milton advised, it is not 'to be read at any time without good caution.' The Arcadian prose is brimming with decorative and rhetorical devices--metaphor, parenthesis, antithesis. - from the book.
