Book excerpt: McFarland presents a personal theory of comedy that shows a knowledge of comic theory and practice, the origin and nature of the comic vision, the pastoral elegy, and the golden age. He deftly draws together the various elements and shows how the blending of the pastoral with the comic allows the inclusion of religious concerns to be a natural part of what is originally a socially oriented art form.
