The interconnected themes of land and labour were a common recourse
for English literary writers between the sixteenth and twentieth
centuries, and in the twenty-first they have become pressing again
in the work of nature writers, environmentalists, poets, novelists
and dramatists. Written by a team of sixteen subject specialists,
this volume surveys the literature of rural working lives and
landscapes written in English between 1500 and the present day,
offering a range of scholarly perspectives on the georgic
tradition, with insights from literary criticism, historical
scholarship, classics, post-colonial studies, rural studies and
ecocriticism. Providing an overview of the current scholarship in
georgic literature and criticism, this collection argues that the
work of people and animals in farming communities, and the land as
it is understood through that work, has provided writers in English
with one of their most complex and enduring themes.
