      abstract = {Departing from conventional views of the pastoral genre as  an Arcadian escape from urban sophistication, The Pipes of  Pan highlights its genesis in the allusive and polemical  literary cultures of Alexandria and Rome. Both cities  placed great emphasis upon learned invocation and  reformulation of poetic models. The pastoral metaphor  provided Theocritus and Vergil with tools for representing  the contests and confrontations of poets and genres, the  exchange of ideas among poets, and poets' reflections on  the efficacy of their works.},
