Pastoral literature has a long and rich history, dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Pastoral works typically depict idealized rural life, often in contrast to the complexities of urban life. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in pastoral literature, with many contemporary American writers exploring the genre in new and innovative ways.
Characteristics of Pastoral Contemporary American Fiction
Pastoral contemporary American fiction shares many of the characteristics of traditional pastoral literature, such as:
- An emphasis on the beauty and simplicity of rural life
- A celebration of the natural world
- A focus on the values of community and family
- A critique of the materialism and artificiality of modern life
However, contemporary American pastoral writers often subvert or challenge these traditional conventions. For example, many contemporary pastoral works are set in urban or suburban environments, rather than in the countryside. Additionally, contemporary pastoral writers often explore the darker side of rural life, such as poverty, violence, and environmental degradation.

- The search for identity and meaning in a rapidly changing world

These themes are often explored through the use of allegory, symbolism, and myth.
