Neo-Latin poetry in English manuscripts, 1550-1700
ALL WELCOME
This paper discusses a proposed project to examine the role and
significance of the large quantities of neo-Latin poetry composed and
circulated within the thriving manuscript culture of early modern
England (c. 1550-1700). It will produce a searchable digital edition of
representative examples of early modern Latin poetry in English
manuscripts, and a body of print publications analysing this almost
unstudied wealth of material. We address the typical genres and forms of
neo-Latin poetry in manuscript and how they are used; the relationship
between original Latin and English poetry in manuscript sources; and the
political significance of such poetry.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
