For example, in an essay that otherwise celebrates the mixture of genres and styles within the Arcadia, Stephen Greenblatt writes, “There are moments—particularly in Book II of the revised Arcadia—when Sidney does not seem to be fully in control of the shifting genres, and the result is confusion and finally tedium.” See Greenblatt, “Sidney’s Arcadia and the Mixed Mode,” Studies in Philology 70, no. 3 (1973): 269–78, 272.

46. This passage from Molyneux was included in the third edition of Holinshed’s Chronicles. Garrett, Sidney, 113. Molyneux spent much of his adult life in service of the Sidney family, primarily as secretary to Sir Henry Sidney, and this dismissal of the Arcadia (which appeared before the romance’s print publication) indicates, among other things, the antipoetic sentiment prevalent in Sidney’s lifetime. See Peter C. Herman, Squitter-Wits and Muse-Haters: Sidney, Spenser, Milton and Renaissance Antipoetic Sentiment (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1996).
