"Long anticipated and hugely welcome, Paul Holberton’s A History of Arcadia is a close and thorough examination of a great number of original texts of classical and early and later modern pastoral poetry, literature and drama in ancient Greek, Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, German and English, and of a wide range of visual imagery, ending just before 1800. The book analyses the development of pastoral as a means of representing human happiness on this earth in the requited wooing of girl and boy, to whose feelings early modern pastoral gives voice. This tremendous book is an iconographic study of Renaissance and Baroque pastoral and related subject matter, with an important chapter on the 18th century, both in the visual arts, where pastoral is very poorly understood, and in words and performance, about which many false preconceptions prevail. The study begins with Virgil’s use of Theocritus and an analysis of what basis Virgil provided for Renaissance pastoral and what, by contrast, stemmed from the medieval pastourelle. Pastoral developed notably in the Venetian High Renaissance. Its texts incorporated Petrarchist and Neoplatonic ideas of love, of which this book charts the development and evolution with unprecedented precision, considering also the female nude in art. There is a novel and polemical discussion of the development of landscape subjects in art, from Giorgione to Claude. The contributions of the most influential or representative authors – Petrarch, Sannazaro, Montemayor, Tasso, Guarino, Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Honoré d’Urfé, Cornelis de Hooft, Shakespeare and lastly Salomon Gessner – are considered beside many interesting more minor ones – Arsocchi, Bernardim Ribeiro, Clément Marot, Cieco d’Adria, John Fletcher, Fontenelle – and the verses of madrigals. There is a chapter on ‘Being Rural’ – what we can say about the reality of life in the country in the early modern period. There is a chapter on ‘Et ^in Arcadia Ego’ that introduces new evidence for the dating of Poussin’s famous work by reference to a neglected work by Sébastien Bourdon in Yale; another on a pastoral composition by Rubens that has not been considered as such. There is an important and bold discussion of self-projection (‘metachronic’ representation) by monarchs and courtiers across Europe in the 17th century, both within pastoral and without, which illuminates profound differences between Protestant and Catholic culture. Coming from the study of earlier periods, the author is able to throw new light on the Rococo – figures such as John Gay, Watteau, Gessner and Gainsborough – and to explain the termination of pastoral writing and art with the embrace of modernity in form and means of expression. All texts are given in the original language and all translated into English, while the visuals are beautifully reproduced: the book is also an anthology." --

Klaus Garber hat sich während seines Forscherlebens mit der europäischen Arkadien-Utopie befaßt. Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte sind dafür eine Reihe von grundlegenden historiographischen und kulturphilosophischen Studien entstanden. Sie blieben bislang unpubliziert und werden hier erstmals in aktualisierter Form vorgelegt. Damit bietet der Band einen gewichtigen Beitrag zu den aktuellen kulturgeschichtlichen Diskussionen der verschiedenen historisch orientierten Disziplinen und reintegriert darin die bleibenden Anteile einer sozialgeschichtlichen Forschung, die ebenso unverzichtbar für die aktuelle Forschung sind. Eröffnet wird das Werk mit einer historiographischen Studie zum Absolutismus, der alteuropäischen Welt des Adels und der marxistischen Kritik der feudalabsolutistischen Gesellschaft. Ihm korrespondiert am Schluß eine weit ausholende sozialphilosophische Untersuchung zur Konstellation von Innerlichkeit und bürgerlicher Gesellschaft im Frühwerk Hegels mit flankierenden Betrachtungen zu Kant auf der einen, dem jungen Marx auf der anderen Seite. In der Mitte des Werkes sind Abhandlungen zu Leben und Werk Martin Opitzens und zum Nürnberger Hirten- und Blumenorden vereinigt.
