"Haunted as it is by the fact that it was not finished" [Elizabeth Dipple] Sidney wrote his original manuscript pastoral romance between 1577 and 1580, and addressed it to his sister Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke. Known as the Old Arcadia, it remained unpublished until the early twentieth century.
In the 1580's Sidney began a revision and enlargement of his original Old Arcadia. He had not finished his revision by his death in 1586. After his death it was prepared for publication firstly in 1590 by his friend Fulke Greville, and three years later by Mary Herbert herself. Her additions complement the narrative with the last two books of the Old Arcadia. Further additions were appended in the second edition of 1598. "A sixth book to the Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia" by Richard Bellings, was originally published separately in 1624. Arcadia has remained an important literary influence throughout history. Charles I quoted lines from "Pamela's Prayer" as he was executed. Sidney invented the name Pamela in this work for his heroine, used later by Richardson. Influences can be seen in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, King Lear, Taming of the Shrew and The Winter's Tale.
Sir Philip Sidney (1554 – 1586) Elizabethan poet, courtier, soldier, was just 31 when he died from a wound he suffered at the Battle of Zutphen, in the Netherlands, where he was fighting in the service of Queen Elizabeth. In 1583 he married Frances Walsingham, the 16 year old daughter of Sir Francis Walsingham, the Queen's spymaster. Sidney's, and Mary Herbert's, niece Mary Wroth published The Countess of Montgomery's Urania in 1621, in her own way echoing continuing Sidney's unfinished work, ending, as did Sidney's New Arcadia, in mid sentence.

'Quatuor clariss. virorum satyrae' is a rather unknown and obscure book of satires by Justus Lipsius and Nicolas Rigault, and while both names are given on the title page, neither is particularly known for political satire. This work is ultimately based on the 'Satire Menippee' – a political work of prose and satire which criticized the Catholic League and Spain during the French Religious Wars.
