Abstract: The 1590 Arcadia must be understood as a work of literature in its own right, distinct from the 1593 Arcadia. Even more fundamental is the corollary that, in spite of the fact that ultimately both versions derive from Philip Sidney's revisions of the "Old" Arcadia, there is no single "New" Arcadia of which the 1590 and 1593 editions are merely separate versions. The so-called "New" Arcadia is the symptom of the author-function as it expressed itself in the protocols of the New Bibliography. It is also the product of arguably the best textual scholarship practiced in the twentieth century.
