Sir Philip Sidney’s Arcadia has held a significant place in literary imagination since its inception over 430 years ago. Our four-volume set presents five re-imaginings of the text, as well as two short supplements that attempt to bridge the gap between Sidney’s original and revised versions of the work.

The collections of the Advocates Library, with the exception of its legal books and manuscripts, were given by the Advocates to the National Library of Scotland in 1925.
