A literary, engaging analysis. Reeves persuasively argues that to read Arcadia as an "epic poem in prose" so dulls one's senses to Sidney's numerous ironic manipulations to that readers tend to interpret any given speech superficially at face value.

Reeves uses the comic subplot of Dametas & his family to demonstrate Sidney's expert comic techniques. Essay begins w/an examination of comic theory in Sidney's Defense of Poesy before to a reading of the humorous in the Arcadia as a mode of moral teaching. He discusses devices employed --- irony, ridicule, deflation & use low comic figures to support the main plot. 64 pgs.
