Emerging in Italy in the mid-sixteenth century, pastoral drama is
one of the most characteristic genres of its time. Sampson traces
its uneven development into the following century by exploring
masterpieces by Tasso and Guarini, and many lesser known works,
some by women writers. She examines the treatment of key themes of
love, the Golden Age, and Nature and Art against the background of
the textual and stage production of the plays. An investigation of
critical writings associated with the genre further reveals its
significance to the contemporary literary scene, by stimulating
'modernizing' attitudes towards the canon, as well as new enquiries
into the function and possibilities of art.
