ECLOGUE

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 896 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ECG-EMS
ECLOGUE , a short
pastoral
  dialogue in verse. The word is conjectured to be derived from the Greek verb EKMyELY, to choose. An eclogue, perhaps, in its
primary
  signification was a selected piece. Another more fantastic derivation traces it to aid, goat, and Pryor, speech, and makes it a conversation of shepherds. The
idea
  of dialogue, however, is not necessary for an eclogue, which is often not to be distinguished from the idyll. The grammarians, in giving this
title
  to Virgil's
pastoral
  conversations (Bucolica), tended to make the
term
  " eclogue " apply exclusively to dialogue, and this has in fact been the result of the success of Virgil's
work
 . Latin eclogues were also written by
Calpurnius
  Siculus and by Nemesianus. In
modern
  literature the
term
  has lost any distinctive
character
  which it may have possessed among the Romans; it is merged in the general notion of pastoral poetry. The French " Eglogues " of J. R. de Segrais (16241701) were
long
  famous, and those of the Spanish poet Garcilasso de La Vega (15031536) are still admired.
