In it, Sidney partially nativized the key features of his Italian model, Petrarch: variation of emotion from poem to poem, with the attendant sense of an ongoing, but partly obscure, narrative; the philosophical trappings; the musings on the act of poetic creation itself.

Philip Sidney's charactonymic structure or process for naming characters in 'Arcadia' is analyzed.
Based on the analogy of Ferdinand de Saussure in which he compares chess with language, Sidney's characters appear to have followed a structuralist form in which the identity of the character is dictated by the function in the narrative.
This could account for Sidney's deferral of the revision of 'Arcadia' which would create stories for the new characters mentioned in the original text which would have to be based on their names.

 Sidney's Arcadia at the University of Utah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Sidney was an idealist and a statesman first; one of the reasons he found so much time for writing was that his commitment to idealism brought him disfavor in the eyes of Queen Elizabeth, culminating in his unwanted advice concerning her marriage.
Sidney was influenced in his education by the study of Machiavelli, and this influence is reflected in Amphialus, who feels justified in shedding the blood of numerous innocents (Argalus and Parthenia, most notably) in seeking the favor of Philoclea.
Sidney was certainly not convinced of the principle of ends justifying the means; Amphialus regrets the deaths of these two characters, and is finally brought to question his own identity as a man driven by passion.
