Georgic
The Latin poet Virgil wrote a series of poems called the
Georgics (from the Greek georgos, "farmer") on how
to manage a farm. Georgic poems, therefore, are concerned with
rural business. Unlike pastoral
poems, which celebrate leisure, georgic poems are about people
involved in labor — plowing fields, keeping bees, that sort of
thing.
