Gender, Interpretation, and Political Rule in Sidney’s Arcadia examines cultural debates regarding queenship and gendered interpretation of persuasive rhetoric in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. The book traces ideological changes concerning women’s positions in early modern English romances written and inspired by Sir Philip Sidney, and it analyzes these texts in light of contemporary domestic and political discourses.
