Description
Lane's previously unedited and unprinted pastoral poem of 1621, modeled on Spenser's "Shepheardes Calender", follows Chaucer in using verse narratives of varying genres (e.g., fabliau and romance) to illustrate its themes (the vices of the age; superiority of the pastoral to the court life).
