"Pastoral: Mediaval into Renaissance is a study of the medieval background of English Renaissance pastoral literature. It is the first book in English to attempt a comprehensive survey of medieval pastoral, or to describe in detail the historical development of English Renaissance pastoral; it is also, despite the present popularity of the subject, the fullest survey of Elizabethan pastoral written for some seventy years. The book traces the development of pastoral from the time of the decline of Rome up to the outbreak of the English civil War. It contains chapters on the strange things that happened to pastoral theory and to the Latin eclogue in the Middle Ages; on medieval French and England; on the paradoxes of 'pastoral decorum' which the Elizabethans found so stimulating; on English Renaissance pastoral and its pervasive debt to the medieval traditions; and on the ways in which all these traditions reached their culmination in the cult of Elizabeth I. The concerns of the book extend to include art and pageantry in addition to more formal literature and theory"-Publisher
