The term 'pastoral' designates a genre of European post-classical poetry which is strongly influenced by Vergil's Eclogues. In fact, the Eclogues function as the primary literary model for this post-classical poetic trend. The present study discusses 'generic self-consciousness' and 'generic interaction' as motifs in the amoebaean eclogues of Roman pastorals. Yet this very objective presupposes the notion of a genre, a quite debated issue, especially in the case of pastorals.
