Covering works by popular figures like Ralph Vaughan Williams and
Gustav Holst as well as less familiar English composers, Eric
Saylor's pioneering book examines pastoral music's critical,
theoretical, and stylistic foundations alongside its creative
manifestations in the contexts of Arcadia, war, landscape, and the
Utopian imagination. As Saylor shows, pastoral music adapted and
transformed established musical and aesthetic conventions that
reflected the experiences of British composers and audiences during
the early twentieth century. By approaching pastoral music as a
cultural phenomenon dependent on time and place, Saylor forcefully
challenges the body of critical opinion that has long dismissed it
as antiquated, insular, and reactionary.
