内容説明
This study follows the fortunes of Virgil's "Eclogues" from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. It argues that Virgilian pastoral spoke to the intellectuals of each place and time, of their own condition and allowed them to formulate, through their transmission of the text, their own ideological stance. An important aspect of this process was the tradition of visual illustration, itself a form of interpretation, and naturally a cogent witness to aesthetic change. Among the writers included are Petrarch, Landino, Vives, Marot, Spenser, Milton, Dryden, Fontenelle, Pope, Voltaire, Wordsworth, Valery and Frost. Among the artists are Simone Martini, Sebastian Brant, Francis Cleyn, David, Blake, Palmer, Maillol and Villon. The author aims to reinspect the standard system of periodization in literary and art history, and to challenge some of the current premises of modernism. The work is designed to be of interest to those in the departments of Classics and of English and European literature and art history. Professor Patterson was named runner-up for the Clifford Prize 1985-86 for her article "Pastoral and ideology - the neoclassical fete champetre".
