Following the publication in 1557 of Tottel's Miscellany, a number
of other anthologies or miscellanies appeared. Englands Helicon
differs from its predecessors in representing a particular style of
writing-the newly fashionable pastoral style, with its origins in
the classics, and above all Virgil, but actually adopted from
Spanish, French and Italian models. Indeed, the largest selection
of any one author in this book is of Batholomew Yong, and his
translations of Montemayor's Diana-a pastoral in verse and prose
which was popular throughout Europe. It was not that these poets
were actually much enamoured of nature or of the countryside: the
pastoral style was like a suit of clothes that could be donned in
order to express certain subjects-above all, love-without getting
into hot water.
