Shakespeare's Pastoral Comedy
McFarland presents a personal theory of comedy that shows a knowledge of
comic theory and practice, the origin and nature of the comic vision, the
pastoral elegy, and the golden age. He deftly draws together the various
elements and shows how the blending of the pastoral with the
comic allows the inclusion of religious concerns to be a natural part of
what is originally a socially oriented art form.
