IAS Book Launch [hybrid]: Baroque Latinity

By looking at a wide range of case studies, the contributors explore the concept of ‘Baroque Latinity’, i.e. to what extent a particular period of early modern writing in Latin could be termed ‘Baroque’ and in what ways it differs from adjacent periods. The book thus makes a valuable contribution to Neo-Latin studies as well as to early modern research in literature.

There will be short presentations, followed by Q&A and then a drinks reception.
At the reception, there will be an opportunity for further discussion and to buy or order a copy of the volume.

Programme:

Gesine Manuwald (UCL): Introduction

Jacqueline Glomski (UCL) / Andrew Taylor (Cambridge): ‘Baroque Latinity: the project’
