Detailed explanation-1: -Pastoral poetry is known for exploring the relationship between humans and nature, and for romanticizing the ideals of a simple country life. The enduring popularity of the pastoral form of poetry suggests a wide resonance with these ideals.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is Pastoral Poetry? Pastoral poetry (or pastorals, as they’re often referred to in poetry circles) focuses on nature as an idyllic setting.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pastoral Poem Definition. Pastoral poems idealize rural life and the countryside. Despite writing about rural life, pastoral poets were usually not from the countryside. Instead, urban poets used pastoral poetry to portray rural life as a fantasy, a society of shepherds who were free from the complexities of city life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Common topics of pastoral poetry include love and seduction; the value of poetry; death and mourning; the corruption of the city or court vs. the “purity” of idealized country life; politics (generally treated satirically: the “shepherds” critique society or easily identifiable political figures).
