Georgics

/ˈdʒɔːrdʒɪks/ noun

Definition

Poems or literary works about agriculture, farming, and rural life; also refers specifically to Virgil's famous poem 'Georgics'.

Etymology

From Latin Georgica (plural), referring to Virgil's epic poem about farming written between 37-29 BCE. The term became generalized to describe any work in this rural, agricultural literary tradition.

Kelly Says

Virgil's 'Georgics' was so influential that for 2,000 years, European poets tried to write about farming in his style—it's proof that even ancient Romans thought farm life and the seasons were worthy of serious art! The poems are both practical and poetic.
