Pastoral "Updated throughout, this new edition provides a clear and invaluable introduction to the study of Pastoral. Terry Gifford traces the history of the genre from its classical origins through to contemporary writing and introduces the major writers and critical issues relating to Pastoral. Gifford breaks the term down into three accessible concepts: Pastoral, Anti-Pastoral, Post-Pastoral and provides up-to-date examples from literature and film. Pastoral is essential and engaging reading for students and academics alike"-- |
