Abstract
-
Taking into consideration Fernando de Herrera's comments on Garcilaso's Eclogues, the present study involves a detailed commentary on Herrera's and Hernando de Acuna's pastoral lyrics and a general survey of pastoral discourse as shown in the works of certain authors of the Spanish XVIth century.;The classical pastoral lyric began in Spain with Garcilaso's three eclogues (written during the third decade of the sixteenth century) and continued throughout the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. A great number of Spanish poets wrote lyrical eclogues, thus contributing to the development of the genre in Spain. The popularity of the eclogue confirms the dynamic nature of the pastoral lyric and the generic malleability of the models. The love-lament, sometimes accompanied by a panegyric or by covert criticism of the socio-political context of the times, was marked by the presence of narrative and dramatic elements, absent from other genres of lyrical discourse.;For some poets the eclogue was a rigid poetic exercise that followed the parameters set forth by the classical models. One should not overlook that, with the appearance of exegetical commentaries on Garcilaso's poetry by Francisco Sanchez de las Brozas (1574) and by Fernando de Herrera (1580), Garcilaso's work was also placed alongside the classics. Whereas for other poets, despite the close filial relationship of their pastoral discourse to the models, their recomposition was accompanied by an effort to transcend the paradigm, thus creating a new generic discourse.;The Renaissance poets rescued the eclogue from the domain of the stylus humilis where it had been placed by the critics and commentators. This imitative and nostalgic attempt to reconstruct the paradigm was, however, a mere instrument for elevating to new heights both the figures of the poet and that of his poetic persona: the shepherd. It should be pointed out that the poets' intention was also to raise their vernacular language to a level comparable to that of Theocritus and Vergil.
