Gerard Nicolaas Heerkens was a cosmopolitan Dutch physician and
Latin poet of the eighteenth century. A Catholic, he was in many
ways an outsider on his own turf, the peat country of Protestant
Groningen, and looked to Voltaire's Paris, as much as Ovid, in
exile, had looked to Rome. An indefatigable traveller and
networker, Heerkens mixed freely with philosophers, physicians,
churchmen, and antiquarians. This book reconstructs his Latin works
and networks, and reveals in the process a virtually unexplored
corner of eighteenth-century culture, the 'Latin Enlightenment'.
