Marsha Collins's approach to the construction, or reconstruction, of Arcadia in the sixteenth century is fascinating and convincing. Her study presents a dynamic vision of the pastoral world and its special sensibility. The comparative analyses-of Sannazaro, Montemayor, Cervantes, Sidney, and Lope de Vega-are sound, well argued, and a pleasure to read, offering a superb complement to previous studies of the genre. - Edward H. Friedman, Professor of Comparative Literature and European Studies. Vanderbilt University, USA
