This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a range of Neo-Latin poems written by distinguished classical scholars across Europe from c. 1490 to c. 1900, this anthology includes a selection of celebrated names in the history of scholarship. Individual chapters present the Neo-Latin poems alongside new English translations (usually the first) and accompanying introductions and commentaries that annotate these verses for a modern readership, and contextualise them within the careers of their authors and the history of classical scholarship in the Renaissance and early modern period. An appealing feature of Renaissance and early modern Latinity is the composition of fine Neo-Latin poetry by major classical scholars, and the interface between this creative work and their scholarly research. In some cases, the two are actually combined in the same work. In others, the creative composition and scholarship accompany each other along parallel tracks, when scholars are moved to write their own verse in the style of the subjects of their academic endeavours. In still further cases, early modern scholars produced fine Latin verse as a result of the act of translation, as they attempted to render ancient Greek poetry in a fitting poetic form for their contemporary readers of Latin.

Download or read book Neo-Latin Poetry in the British Isles written by and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigation of the Latin poetry produced by British poets from the sixteenth century onwards affords an indispensible insight into a dominant strand in the intellectual, cultural and educational life of the British Isles during this period. At this time, the composition of Latin poetry was a regular feature of school curricula and a popular leisure-time activity of the educated elite. Such examination also sheds light on the poetic principles and practice of major British poets (such as Campion, Cowley, Herbert and Milton) who penned a large quantity of neo-Latin verse in addition to their better-known vernacular works.
Book Synopsis The Neo-Latin Verse of Urban VIII, Alexander VII and Leo XIII by : Stephen Harrison
Download or read book The Neo-Latin Verse of Urban VIII, Alexander VII and Leo XIII written by Stephen Harrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-04 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating insight into the most talented Latin poets to occupy the Papal throne after Pius II Piccolomini in the 15th century, this book offers translations of and commentaries on the major poems of the three popes (all Italians): Urban VIII Barberini, Alexander VII Chigi and Leo XIII Pecci. Their highly accomplished Neo-Latin poems owe much to the major Latin poets and are significant instances of classical reception, but also cast an interesting light on their lives, times and papacies. Urban (elected pope in 1623) published a mixture of secular and religious verse, drawing on the hexameter epistles of Horace and the lyrics of Catullus and writing Horatian material in praise of Alessandro Farnese, governor of the Netherlands for Philip II of Spain, and the Spanish martyr St Laurence. Alexander (elected pope in 1655) like Urban combines secular and religious themes and often uses Horatian frameworks, writing hexameter accounts of some of the journeys he made as a papal diplomat in Germany and an Horatian ode on the fall of the Protestant stronghold of La Rochelle (1628). Leo's poetry was mostly religious and published during his papacy (1878-1903); his Horatian ode on the new millennium of 1900 was widely read, and other works include an elegy which links a shrine of the Virgin with the Battle of Lepanto; an Horatian satire on moderate diet; and hymns to saints which combine early Christian and Horatian forms.

Book Synopsis An Anthology of Neo-Latin Literature in British Universities by : Gesine Manuwald
Download or read book An Anthology of Neo-Latin Literature in British Universities written by Gesine Manuwald and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled by a team of experts in the field, this volume brings to view an array of Latin texts produced in British universities from c.1500 to 1700. It includes a comprehensive introduction to the production of Neo-Latin and Neo-Greek in the early modern university, the precise circumstances and broader environments that gave rise to it, plus an associated bibliography. 12 high-quality sections, each prefaced by its own short introduction, set forth the Latin (and occasionally Greek) texts and accompanying English translations and notes. Each section provides focused orientation and is arranged in such a way as to ensure the volume's accessibility to scholars and students at all levels of familiarity with Neo-Latin. Passages are taken from documents that were composed in seats of learning across the British Isles, in Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, Edinburgh and St Andrews, and adduce a wide range of material from orations and disputational theses to collections of occasional verse, correspondence, notebooks and university drama. This anthology as a whole conveys a sense of the extent of Latin's role in the academy and the span of remits in which it was deployed. Far from simply offering a snapshot of discrete projects, the contributions collectively offer insights into the broader culture of the early modern university over an extended period. They engage with the administrative operations of institutions, pedagogical processes and academic approaches, but also high-level disputes and the universities' relationship with the worlds of politics, new science and intellectual developments elsewhere in Europe.
Book Synopsis A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature by : Victoria Moul
Download or read book A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature written by Victoria Moul and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis A Collection of translations into Latin verse and original compositions by : Paul Murgatroyd
Download or read book A Collection of translations into Latin verse and original compositions written by Paul Murgatroyd and published by Lewiston, N.Y. ; Queenston, Ont. : Mellen Research University Press. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of translations and original compositions in Latin verse, accompanied by an introduction which explains methodology and discusses a representative sample of versions. The author's technique of verse composition constitutes an original approach to this specialized field of classical scholarship and should be of interest to all students of Neo-Latin poetry. In contrast to traditional methods, an attempt is made to reproduce the distinct flavour of particular Latin authors by various methods (such as close conformity to the model's linguistic, grammatical, metrical, stylistic and structural norms, and reminiscences in the form of words or phrases).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a wide range of pieces from a world-class Latinist which displays both his diverse interests as a scholar and his consistent concern with Augustan texts, their language and literary texture. The range of articles, written over more than three decades and including one previously unpublished piece, covers the same connected territory - largely Virgil, Horace, and elegy. R. O. A. M. Lyne's consistent approach of close reading means that the articles form a coherent whole, while his compelling style as an engaged literary analyst ensures that these are not dry or forbidding pieces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review from The New Ireland Review, Volume 15: This book, as Professor Tyrrell tells us in his preface, is intended to be a companion volume to the interesting lectures delivered by him at the Johns Hopkins University in America, and subsequently published under the title of Latin Poetry. But its merits must recommend it to the reader for its own sake. In this busy age of ours, when even the once peaceful life of the student is invaded by the necessity tor economy of time, it is of inestimable advantage to find included in one volume of moderate size a series of selections that enable us to take a speedy and, at the same time, comprehensive survey of the whole wide field of classical poetry. The extracts contained in the Anthology range from the rude and well-nigh unintelligible Carmen Saliare to the versos of Boethius, whose cruel death marks also the extinction of the classic tongue of Rome. Nor has Professor Tyrrell confined himself merely to the beauties of Latin literature, but has happily given specimens of its weaknesses as well, so that the reader is presented with a distinct picture of all its characteristics, whether good or evil. In the work of selection Professor Tyrrell has displayed his customary good taste. The lyrics chosen, for instance, to exemplify the peculiar powers of Horace and Catullus, the excerpts from Virgil and Lucretius, the epigrams of Martial, the satires of Juvenal, all display the most felicitous judgment on the part of the editor. So, too, with the extracts from Statius and Valerius Flaccus as well as from the poets of the later ages, Claudian, Prudentius, and Ausonius; while even the dreary Silius Italicus, and such little-known writers as Manilius and Gratius find a place. The dramatists are admirably represented, and some charming pieces are inserted, such as the Pervigilium Veneris which, after being ascribed to some of the foremost names in Latin literature, must finally be added to the vast body of anonymous works. The notes, in which some good emendations are indicated, are kept within due limits, but are scholarly and admirably adapted to elucidate the text, and some fine translations by Professor Jebb are added.... ...As every student knows well, that with what skill, he can render the most complex phrases into vigorous English. The whole work is well worthy of perusal and is remarkably inexpensive, considering the interest of its contents and the admirable manner in which it has been turned out by the publishers.
Book Synopsis Latin Poetry and Its Reception by : C. W. Marshall
Download or read book Latin Poetry and Its Reception written by C. W. Marshall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers 18 new studies reflecting the latest scholarship on Latin verse, explored both in its original context and in subsequent contexts as it has been translated and re-imagined. All chapters reflect the wide research interests of Professor Susanna Braund, to whom the volume is dedicated. Latin Poetry and Its Reception assembles a blend of senior scholars and new voices in Latin literary studies. It makes important contributions to the understanding of kingship in Hellenistic and Roman thought, with the first four chapters dedicated to exploring this theme in Republican poetry, Virgil, Seneca, and Statius. Chapters focusing on the modern reception include case studies from the 16th to the 21st century, with discussions on Gavin Douglas, Edward Gibbon, Herman Melville, Igor Stravinsky, and Elena Ferrante, among others. No comparable volume provides a similar range. Latin Poetry and Its Reception will appeal to all scholars of Latin poetry and classical reception, from senior undergraduates to scholars in classics and other disciplines.

Download or read book An Anthology of British Neo-Latin Literature written by Gesine Manuwald and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a wide range of sample passages from literature written in Latin in the British Isles during the period from about 1500 to 1800. It includes a general introduction to and bibliography to the Latin literature of these centuries, as well as Latin texts with English translations, introductions and notes. These texts present a rich panorama of the different literary genres, styles and themes flourishing at the time, illustrating the role of Latin texts in the development of literary genres, the diversity of authors writing in Latin in early modern Britain, and the importance of Latin in contemporary political, religious and scientific debates. The collection, which includes both texts by well-known authors (such as John Milton, Thomas More and George Buchanan) and previously unpublished items, can be used as a point of entry for students at school and university level, but will also be of interest to specialists in a number of academic disciplines.
