The pastoral is an identifiable genre in Mary Wroth’s Urania (1621). As a romance, it traces the adventures of knights from the center (court) to the marginal (pastoral setting) and back. However, an intriguing aspect in Urania is the relation between the idealized pastoral drive and the representation of the female body. Moreover, the pastoral trope is considered by many eco-critics as one of the key tropes shaping perceptions of nature in Western culture. Along these lines, understanding the roots of such a trope and its relation to the female body becomes a key factor in understanding our present relations to nature
