Summary:

"This study contributes to a dialogue about the scope and meaning of pastoral, arguing for a more socially and aesthetically complex awareness of its significance. The study is text-based rather than thesis-driven, dealing mainly with Renaissance works by Spenser, Milton, and Shakespeare, but grounds itself in Virgil and concludes with pastoral's transmuted afterlife in Wordsworth and Samuel Beckett"--Provided by publisher.
