  A study that confronts the well rehearsed analogy of the pastoral poet as healer. It raises such questions as: How does the pastoral heal? How exactly do the inner workings of the text cater to the healing? What are the major problems that pastoral poetry as mimesis must overcome to make its healing morally legitimate?
