title = "A Distinct Mode of Pastoral in Elizabethan Cambridge: Giles Fletcher the Elder (c. 1546-1611), Ecloga Daphnis",
abstract = "This chapter presents in full the Ecloga Daphnis by Giles Fletcher the Elder (1546–1611). This text is included in a Cambridge commemorative collection created to mark the passing of Nicholas Carr (d. 1568), who had been Regius Professor of Greek from 1551 to 1564. It is representative of Fletcher's Cambridge pastoral and is significant for the history of Anglo-Latin and English pastoral, not least because it constitutes an example of Cambridge pastoral that precedes that of Edmund Spenser and John Milton. Written by a young poet and Greek scholar, the eclogue also illustrates the increasingly widespread currency of occasional verse within the community of university poets.",
