Lower part slightly water stained and a little bit bubbled through moist.'Im vorliegenden, aus 12 Kapiteln bestehenden, außerordentlich materialreichen Buch verfolgt R. in Kap.3-11 die von ihm für wesentlich gehaltenen Aspekte der Bukolik (Simplicity, Otium; Freedom; The Animals; The Music; The Humor; The Pleasancel Anatomy; Arcadia) von Theokrit bis zu ihren Nachwirkungen und Umsetzungen in der europäischen Schäferdichtung des 16.-18. Jh. Hinzu kommen ein einleitendes Kapitel, worin R. den Begriff der Hirtendichtung ('Pastoral') und die mit ihm verbundenen Assoziationene in einem kurzen Überblick zur 'history of the genre' diskutiert und ihn von anderen Literaturformen abzugrenzen sucht (...), weiter ein Kapitel über die Ursprünge der Bukolik (...) sowie am Schluß eines über 'Figures and Tropes' in der Hirtendichtung (...). Ein Index (...) ergänzt das Buch (...). Trotz einer Reihe von diskussionswürdigen Vorschlägen und einer Fülle von interessanten literarischen Belegen, besonders aus der späteren Geschichte der europäischen Hirtendichtung, kann das Buch als Ganzes methodisch und inhaltlich nicht überzeugen.'

ROSENMEYER, Th.G., The Green Cabinet. Theocritus and the European Pastoral Lyric. University of California Press, Berkeley / Los Angeles, 1973. XI,351p. Paperback. Lower corner front cover slightly creased. Reprint 1st ed.1969. A few light, erasable pencil markings and underlinings from NH. 'Professor Rosenmeyer's full-length study treats Theocritus not merely as a source for Vergil and later writers but as a poet - a significantly worthy poet - in his own right. This is a fully documented literary study of theocritus that cannot help but provide the student with deep insight and steady appreciation of a notable Hellenistic author and a persistent literary genre.'
