Post-medieval Latin verse in English manuscript sources, c.1550-1700: initial findings
Post-medieval Latin verse in English manuscript sources, c.1550-1700: initial findings
27 Feb 2019, 16:30 – 17:30
This talk will present some of the first analysis of a large project surveying for the first time the tens of thousands of post-medieval (i.e. ’neo’) Latin verse preserved in early modern English manuscript sources. This extremely rich and varied material is testament to the profoundly bilingual nature of early modern English literary culture, but has been almost untouched by scholarship, and has never been surveyed before.All welcome - booking not required. There will be drinks and discussion after the talk.
