Eclogue is a literary genre belonging to lyrical poetry characterized by presenting pastoral dialogues between shepherds or rural characters, who express feelings of love, bucolic sentiments, or reflections on nature and country life.
Originating in classical antiquity, the eclogue has been used by poets to represent the idealization of rural life and the search for harmony between man and nature.
Through these compositions, bucolic landscapes are evoked along with themes such as love, nostalgia, and the simplicity of life in the countryside.
