BIBLIOGRAPHY

A. O. Lovejoy and G. Boas, Primitivism... in Antiquity
(Baltimore, 1935), gives in Greek, Latin, and English all the
passages pertinent to the subject. G. Boas, Essays on Primi-
tivism and Related Ideas in the Middle Ages
(Baltimore,
1948), cites English translations of similar texts for the
medieval period. For the eighteenth century, see Lois
Whitney, Primitivism and the Idea of Progress in English
Popular Literature of the Eighteenth Century
(Baltimore,
1934). Other books covering aspects of the subject: Gilbert
Chinard, L'Exotisme américain dans la littérature française
au XVIe siècle
(Paris, 1911); and idem, L'Amérique et le
rêve exotique dans la littérature française au XVIIe et au
XVIIIe siècles
(Paris, 1933); G. Boas, The Happy Beast (Bal-
timore, 1933); and idem, The Cult of Childhood (London,
1966). For the rise of the pastoral and its relations to primi-
tivism, see Walter W. Greg, Pastoral Poetry and Pastoral
Drama
(London, 1906); for primitivism in art, see Robert
J. Goldwater, Primitivism in Modern Painting (New York,
1938).
