The Green Cabinet | |||
| Theocritus and the European Pastoral Lyric | Literature | |||
| Thomas G Rosenmeyer | ||||
| Bristol Classical 2004 351 pages | ||||
| Paperback 1853996645 | ||||
| Published Price £16.99 | Sale Price £2.99 | |||
| First published in 1969, this learned and wide-ranging study of the pastoral tradition starts out from 'the special qualities of Theocritus' pastoral poetry'. However, the bulk of the book traces the development of these qualities, themes and tropes (such as simplicity and tranquillity, music and humour, Pan and Arcadia) across the work of his many distinguished successors in a remarkably persistent genre - Virgil and Calpurnius Siculus, Dante and Boccaccio, Ronsard, Drayton, Milton and Marvell. | ||||
