Traditionally, critics of the English Renaissance have viewed
pastoral as a static, idealizing genre, aimed at the recreation of
an idyllic past. More recently, these idealizing humanist
approaches have been forcefully challenged by studies written from
historicist perspectives. In Pastoral and the Poetics of
Self-Contradiction, first published in 1995, Judith Haber
complicates the conventional opposition between humanist and
historicist criticism by examining the ways in which pastoral poets
themselves interrogate the contradictory relations inherent in
their genre. Haber explores problems of representation,
self-representation, and imitation in classical and Renaissance
pastoral, focusing on texts by Theocritus, Virgil, Sidney and
Marvell. Her approach revises current understanding of pastoral as
a genre, and raises wider questions about the place of literature
in society and the difficulties involved in constituting literary
traditions.
