Avatar

The avatar associated with the Et in Arcadia podcast is George Inness’s The Lackawanna Valley (c. 1856).

Theme Music

The theme music comes from Wernor Herzog’s film Grizzly Man (2005). The score for that film was composed by Richard Thompson.

Bibliography

Ideas in the “What is Pastoral?” essay on this site come from a number of sources. Of course, the title is an echo of Paul Alpers’s book, What is Pastoral? We’ve also cited Greg Garrard’s Ecocriticism and ideas from Terry Gifford’s Pastoral and William Empson’s Some Versions of Pastoral. The suggestive subheading “What Else is Pastoral” is the title of a new book by Ken Hiltner (Cornell UP, 2011).
