Sidney is not 17th century. However, his Arcadia is instrumental to my thesis because both women wrote "spin-offs" of the Arcadia, using that as the entryway into the epic genre.

Oh. Whoops! I was thinking my class was all 17th century but it was more of a survey class so it definitely wasn't just 17th.

Well, sometimes the 17th century folks like to claim him because he was only a few years behind. These century markers are largely arbitrary anyway. Who says the world of 1601 is so massively different than the world of 1599?

Nancy-
I admire you for such dedication. I can't even remember if this is the 20th century or what century we are in right now... If it's 17th century then in really happened in the 1600 year? right ? or am I wrong.
I get so confused

I don't think I worship any book....
although I sure do like the Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe
but I don't think that is really about rhetoric and prose...

That's right.
