Frost is a modern pastoral poet, and his poems have the significance of carrying forward the past and ushering in the future.

Based on a comprehensive summary of the concept of pastoral, this book combs the research on pastoral from the perspective of Chinese and Western literary criticism, analyzes the original value of ancient Greek pastoral and the classic significance of ancient Roman pastoral, and elaborates on the evolution and development, inheritance and innovation of western pastoral. This book points out that pastoral songs have philosophical connotations such as reverence for nature and heaven, reliance on human ethics, and the pursuit of tranquility, as well as the dual nature of poetic freehand and secular realism. Pastoral has established a literary tradition that is completely different from epic and tragedy, and is of great significance in the history of Western literature.
