- Double-weighted statement
- This is a substantial output of some 300 pages, based upon research over nine years. In its first chapter, it includes an extensive survey of classical, Renaissance and Early Modern treatments of pastoral since Theocritus, as well as a survey of eighteenth-century theories of pastoral. In the subsequent six chapters, it offers a comprehensive survey of the development of pastoral motifs in the work of seven major German-language writers, including Goethe, Kleist and Nestroy, and analyses some twenty major texts as well as numerous letters and minor texts.

- Additional information
- About half of the material in the chapter on Kleist was published in 2012, and about half of the material in the chapter on Gessner in 2014 (in a journal article that I have not proposed for REF). The material in both has been thoroughly revised and placed in a larger context in this monograph.
