	On the Arcadian Theme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In the reality of mythological Arcadia there were many terrifying dangers, the least of which was death, for its vast population of nymphs, dryads, naiads, satyrs, fauns, Cyclops and lesser gods such as Pan and occasionally Dionysus.
		In a sense, classical Arcadia was never a Utopia, and its character is as complex and mysterious as the human psyche.
		Arcadia is then the anarchist state inhabited by uncontrollable misfits where Pan keeps vigil over his domain, scaring away rational beings with his unearthly howls and screeches.

	What is Arcadia
		It is natures Utopia, irresistibly attractive, impossible to capture in total, yet inspiring infinite attempts at recreation.
		It is surrounded by mountains crossed only with difficulty; in spring, the rivers flow and the vegetation is lush, but in summer the earth bakes hard and dry and the rivers dwindle to a trickle, only to turn into rushing torrents when the winter rains return.
		Renaissance scholars mistakenly saw in Virgils sunlit Arcadia man and nature in harmony, a harmony that brought harvests from the land, with time to spare for both contemplation and entertainment, while the mischievous Pan played his pipes in the shadows.

		In the Renaissance, when society was so strongly urban and centripetal, focused on the capital city and on the court in the centre of it, the pastoral established an alternative ideal which was not strictly utopian, and which we might distinguish by the term Arcadian.
		Arcadia is also unlike Utopia by its rejection of preoccupation with organizational perfection.
		As in the case of Utopia, Arcadia represents an age-old search for the ideal society, one of the oldest and most persistent of human desires.

		According to Greek mythology, Arcadia of Peloponnesus was the domain of Pan, the virgin wilderness home of the god of the forest and his court of dryads, nymphs and other spirits of nature.
		Of particular note is Et in Arcadia ego by Nicholas Poussin, which has become famous both in its own right and because of its (possible) connection with the gnostic histories of the Rosicrucians.
		The phrase Et in Arcadia Ego is a memento mori, which is usually interpreted to mean "I am also in Arcadia" or "I am even in Arcadia", as if spoken by personified Death.

		There is no set design for someone’s personal utopia, and the idealized Arcadia can grow and evolve based on the wants and needs of the envisioner.
		What makes Bierstadt’s painting fit as an example of idealized Arcadia is that it seems to be its own small ecosystem that is untouched by anything but the drastic, sweeping rays of the sun.
		This is an important aspect of the idealized Arcadia for it emphasizes the innocence of the atmosphere.

	History and Utopia -- Chapter One
		22 The "moral" is the efficacy of the proximate utopia of his youth, with its hierarchical social structure, agricultural economy, and ethical and religious conventionality.
		Although the pastoral state is here designated proximate utopia for dialectical purposes, it should be made clear that Cooper had too strong a sense of original sin to envision a temporal utopia in the usual meaning of the word.
		It is a sacrosanct feature of proximate utopia, and its subversion is tantamount to "revolution" against "fundamental law."99 Disrespect for the sacred is endemic to a declining society, as "moral associations" between social institutions and human virtue lose vitality.

	The Quest For Arcadia - John Taylor Gatto
		Defense of it on strictly humanistic grounds is usually discarded as hypocrisy, but after some reflection, I don’t think it is. Remember that many philosophical and scientific minds were fellow travelers in the industrial procession.
		This Arcadia would be possible only if men of great vision had the nerve and iron discipline to follow where rationality and science led.
		The crucial obstacle was this: an unknown number of generations would have to be sacrificed to industrial slavery before mankind could progress to its comfortable destiny.

	THESIS ABSTRACT
		It is primarily in the individualized voices of the unofficial strand (the dialogists of Arcadia, the heroine of the feminine Gothic, the "liberation" of ideas in Eastern European fantastyka) that this relative sense of polylogism arises.
		The utopia is a city, and it expresses rather the human ascendancy over nature, the domination of the environment by abstract and conceptual mental patterns.
		Insofar as Arcadia typically depicts generations of people, this multi-voicedness is self-evident, but there is also a comparatively greater degree of equality of speech, compared to the unequal distribution of authority and speaking power reflected in the "guided tour" device of the official Utopia.

	My Stupid Dog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In other plays, such as Travesties, Arcadia and The Invention of Love, Stoppard develops the basic idea of Rosencrantz even further, humanizing the history of Western civilization by examining its impact on misfits, exiles and minor “eyewitness” figures.
		In this Lincoln Center incarnation, the three parts of Coast of Utopia form the grandest, most ambitious drama to play on an American stage since the glory days of 1930s “public theater." With a cast of forty-four and more than eighty speaking parts, this production would be massive by any standard.
		To that end, Stoppard peppers his dialogue with pithy observations on the frailty of human nature, even in the midst of his characters’ lengthy, pretentious monologues on art, politics and the ideal society.

	Arcadia - Tom Stoppard
		But while one must respect the playwright's wit and erudition, it strikes me as the work of a brilliant impersonator rather than a dramatist with his own authentic voice.
		Stoppard's understanding (and clear presentation) of questions of science, art, history, and even gardening serve him well, but it is the richly drawn characters (and their bright, sharp dialogue) that makes Arcadia superb drama.
		British dramatist Tom Stoppard, born in 1937, is author of such notable plays as Arcadia and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

		Arcadia is now the name of many cities in the United States.

		In the 1590s Sir Philip Sidney circulated copies of his influential heroic romance poem The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia establishing Arcadia as an icon of the Renaissance; although the story is plentifully supplied with shepherds and other pastoral figures, the central characters of the plot are all royalty visiting the countryside.

	Nicolas Poussin poster ET IN ARCADIA EGO Rennes-le-Château
		To literate people in the 17th century the name Arcadia readily evoked the pastoral tradition, that easy going genre of poetry that had developed in parallel with epic writing since the time of the classical Greeks.
		The literary sources are numerous - from the Eclogues or Bucolics of Virgil to the Arcadia of Jacopo Sannazaro (1502) - all invoking an imaginary place, a "kingdom of Utopia".
		In this sense it is she who pronounces the fateful words, suggested to us by the young shepherd on the right who turns to face her whilst pointing to the inscription.
