The full-length Introduction examines English Renaissance pastoral against the history of the mode from antiquity to the present, with its multifarious themes and social affinities. The study covers many genres – eclogue, lyric, georgic, country-house poem, ballad, romantic epic, prose romance – and major practitioners – Theocritus, Virgil, Sidney, Spenser, Drayton and Milton. It also charts the circulation of pastoral texts, with implications for all early modern poetry. All poems in the \u003ci\u003eAnthology\u003c\/i\u003e were edited from the original texts; the \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e documents the sources and variant readings in unprecedented detail for a cross-section of early modern poetry. Includes notes on the poets and analytical indices. The \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e is indispensable not only to users of the \u003ci\u003eAnthology\u003c\/i\u003e but to all students and advanced scholars of Renaissance poetry.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54014433493336,"sku":null,"price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781526126986_780e52dd-67f0-426c-afd3-c8b643e35061.jpg?v=1765728026","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/a-companion-to-pastoral-poetry-of-the-english-renaissance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
