Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. xi, 216 pages ; 24 cm. Papers presented at an international conference on the topic "The successors of Theocritus and Virgil : the reception of Bucolic poetry in ancient and modern times," organized by the Univ. of Crete, Dept. of Philology, held in Rethymnon May 22-23, 2006--Cf. preface. T…he essays collected in Pastoral Palimpsests examine nine instances in the reception of Theocritus and Virgil. They cover a 2000-year time span and a variety of topics: the literary and metaliterary importance of rustic pride in the pseudo-Theocritean Idyll 20 (Marco Fantuzzi); the linguistic significance of a bucolic locus amoenus contained in the Life of Aesop (Richard Hunter); the position of the piscatory eclogues in Jacopo Sannazaro's poetic career (Thomas Hubbard); the imitation of the Virgilian career in John Milton s Epitaphium Damonis (Philip Hardie); William Wordsworth's complex and carefully concealed Virgilianism (Annabel Patterson); Thomas Hardy s remarkable debt to Virgil s Eclogues and the Aeneid (Michael Paschalis); responses to Virgil s Eclogue 1 in twentieth-century literature (Theodore Ziolkowski); the haunting presence of the Virgilian Eclogues in Michel Butor's Mobile (Fiona Cox); and the aesthetics of pastoral melancholy in Virgil, Miklos Radnoti, and Bob Dylan (Richard F. Thomas).
