BOYLE, A.J., (ed.), Ancient Pastoral. 'Ramus' Essays on Greek and roman Pastoral Poetry. Aureal Publications, Victoria, 1975. 148p. Paperback. (Rare). 'The seven essays (...) three mainly on Theocritus, three on Virgil's 'Eclogues' and one on pastoral in the Neronian period, explore the potential of the genre as a vehicle fro the presentation of 'issues central to man's moral, intellectual and aesthetic experience' (p.3). All prove convincingly that the subject has importance. (...) This book has certain defects - no index, uneven quality, and a certain reptiteveness that comes from giving the contributors their head. But it is full of interest and insight, and clearly shows the tendency of pastoral studies today.' (EDNA JENKINSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1978, pp.64-66). A.o.: G.
