A Full Enquiry into the Nature of the Pastoral (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514168752)

A Full Enquiry into the Nature of the Pastoral is a classic poetry study by Thomas Purney. In the preface to each of his volumes of pastorals (Pastorals. After the simple Manner of Theocritus, 1717; Pastorals. viz. The Bashful Swain: and Beauty and Simplicity, 1717) Thomas Purney rushed into critical discussions with the breathlessness of one impatient to reveal his opinions, and, after touching on a variety of significant topics, cut himself short with the promise of a future extensive treatise on pastoral poetry.
