'Professor Chaudhuri has now produced the largest anthology of pastoral poetry yet published, a major collection in every sense, which illustrates the broad historical development outlined in his concise introduction, but with an unexpected diversity. It comprises 277 items, ranging from an anonymous 1588 translation of Theocritus to poems from Charles Cotton published posthumously in 1689. In sum, this wonderfully wide-ranging collection ought to be in every library of English literature. Congratulations are due to the editor and publisher, who have also published Chaudhuri's complementary A Companion to Pastoral Poetry of the English Renaissance (2018). The appearance of both volumes will make lovers of pastoral, present and future, deeply indebted to Sukanta Chaudhuri.' Maria Delgado, Times Higher Education -- .
