A long narrative which depicts country life is a pastoral. Pastoral is a literary work that portrays an idealized view of rural life. It often includes shepherds, rustic settings, and a focus on nature. Pastoral works often contrast the simplicity and beauty of the natural world with the corruption and complexity of urban life. Examples of pastoral works include Virgil's Eclogues, Edmund Spenser's The Shepheardes Calendar, and William Shakespeare's As You Like It.
