Latin was for many centuries the common literary language of
Europe, and Latin literature of immense range, stylistic power and
social and political significance was produced throughout Europe
and beyond from the time of Petrarch (c.1400) well into the
eighteenth century. This is the first available work devoted
specifically to the enormous wealth and variety of neo-Latin
literature, and offers both essential background to the
understanding of this material and sixteen chapters by leading
scholars which are devoted to individual forms. Each contributor
relates a wide range of fascinating but now little-known texts to
the handful of more familiar Latin works of the period, such as
Thomas More's Utopia, Milton's Latin poetry and the works of
Petrarch and Erasmus. All Latin is translated throughout the
volume.
