La Bucólica del Tajo de Francisco de la Torre como poemario pastoril: visión de conjunto

Francisco de la Torre’s Bucólica del Tajo is shaped as a pastoral book of poems. Resembling Vergil’s Bucolicon Liber, it displays a uniform structure based on symmetry and alternation. As a novelty in the poems as a whole, we can emphasize the metrical variety, where capacity for experimentation as well as the mixture of schemes happen, together with the leading role of spatio-temporal coordinates, reconstructed with skilful descriptive methods. The voices of human or mythical actants are incorporated into this descriptive frame. These voices turn their complaints into a dialogue imbued with the harmony of landscape, following a binary movement that divides each of the eight eclogues. River landscape and love casuistry take up a poetic space lacking in the historical signs relating the topic of exordium, ratifying therefore the autonomy of this pastoral universe.
