Book Synopsis
This volume is part of a series of key monographs on topics central to the study of the classical world. It looks at Theocritus as both a source for Vergil and later writers and as a significant poet in his own right. It gives an insight into this classical author which may prove relevant not only for classicists but also for all studying the pastoral tradition in literature.

Trade Review
'Should be required reading for anyone attempting to deal with the pastoral tradition.' Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 'Professor Rosenmeyer's full-length study treats Theocritus not merely as a source for Vergil and later writers but as a poet - a significantly worthy poet - in his own right. This is a fully documented literary study of Theocritus that cannot help but provide the student with deep insight and steady appreciation of a notable Hellenistic author and a persistent literary genre.'
