| Summary: | Narrative mode takes part as a secondary component of main models of bucolic book: Virgil’s Eclogues, where it is subordinated to dramatic mode, and Sannazaro’s Arcadia, that combines the lyricism with a narrative dimension, joined to velame pastorico predominant in proses added to second version. However, it has been proposed as definitory trait of Pedro de Padilla’s Églogas pastoriles (1582), read as a romance. This interpretation must be corrected by a valoration of the supposed narrative structure as a simple support of a poetic anthology and a repertory of metric forms, a bucolic book whose analysis of feelings displaces the happen, understood in a cyclic course that cancels the narrative efficacy of the story. The coherence of the collection as a book is supported in a bucolic canon that follows the lines codified by models, Bucolics and Arcadia.
