Synopsis
Explore the history of the fisher idyll and how poets shaped the sea’s quiet life into a distinct literary genre.
This volume traces connections from classical models to English adaptations, showing how past writers used fishing imagery, boats, and coastal settings to frame love, nature, and the sea.
From Sannazaro’s Italian tradition to Phineas Fletcher’s Latin and English pieces, the book reveals how translators and imitators carried sea songs into new languages and contexts. It also highlights how later poets like Spenser influenced a distinctly English pastoral about fishermen, weaving irony, romance, and myth into the wave-washed world.
- Learn the key works and authors that defined the piscatory tradition across Europe.
- See how Latin and English verse echo each other, and where they diverge.
- Understand how maritime life became a lens for broader themes like love and art.
- Discover the flow of influence—from Virgil and Theocritus to Sannazaro and beyond.
Ideal for readers of literary history, pastoral poetry, and maritime culture who want a clear map of a centuries‑long poetic conversation.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the pastoral of fishers, a subgenre of pastoral literature that focuses on the lives of fishermen. Originating in ancient Greek poetry, these poems often depict the harsh realities and solitude faced by fishermen, contrasting their existence with the idealized lives of shepherds. The author traces the development of the piscatory eclogue, examining its evolution from its origins in Homer's epic similes to its refinement by Theocritus. They analyze the conventions and motifs that define the genre, including the depiction of aged, solitary, and poverty-stricken fishermen. By examining epigrams, mimes, and other literary forms, the author shows how the pastoral of fishers continued to evolve, influencing later humanist poets and appearing in prose works such as romances. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the pastoral of fishers, situating it within the broader context of pastoral literature and exploring its thematic depth. It sheds light on the ways in which the genre has reflected the lives and experiences of fishermen throughout history, offering valuable insights into the relationship between literature and the natural world.
