Abstract:This essay analyzes the pastoral landscapes in Sidney’s revised Arcadia to determine how Sidney’s investments in England’s early attempts at colonialism changed his perceptions of what made an environment “ideal.” Examining the text through an ecocolonial lens, it argues that—like the idealized descriptions of abundant Virginian nature in early colonial promotions—the landscapes in book 1 of Sidney’s pastoral romance feature inhabitants taking an active part in creating and maintaining the environment’s peaceful prosperity.

“平民荒野”：菲利普·西德尼（Philip Sidney）的《新阿卡迪亚》中的殖民地景观

摘要：本文分析了西德尼（Sidney）修订后的《阿卡迪亚（Arcadia）》中的田园风光，以确定西德尼（Sidney）对英格兰早期殖民主义尝试的投资如何改变了他对使环境“理想化”的看法。通过生态殖民主义的角度来审查文本，它认为，就像早期殖民活动中对弗吉尼亚丰富自然的理想描述一样，《悉尼尼》的田园浪漫主义第一卷中的风景特色是居民积极参与创造和维护环境的和平繁荣。
