This volume addresses the idea of the Baroque in European literature in Latin. With contributions by scholars from various disciplines and countries, and by looking at a range of texts from across Europe, the volume offers case studies to deepen scholarly understanding of this important literary phenomenon and inspire future research.

A key aim of the volume is to address the distinctiveness of these texts by interrogating the usefulness and specificity of the term ‘Baroque’, especially in relation to the classical rules it transgresses to produce effects of grandeur, richness, and exuberance in a range of secular and sacred arts (e.g. music, architecture, painting), as well as various forms of literature (e.g. prose, poetry, drama). The contributors consider how and why Latin writing mutated from earlier humanist paradigms, thus exploring how ideas of ‘early modern’ and ‘Baroque’ are related, and examine the interplay of the theory and practice of the ‘Baroque’, including its debts to and deviations from ancient models, and its limits and limitations.

Jacqueline Glomski is Honorary Senior Research Fellow at University College London, UK, Vice-President of the Society for Neo-Latin Studies (SNLS), and a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. She has co-edited the collected volumes Seventeenth-Century Libraries: Problems and Perspectives (forthcoming), Seventeenth-Century Fiction: Text and Transmission (2016), and Acta Conventus Neo-Latini Monasteriensis: Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Congress of Neo-Latin Studies (2015). Andrew Taylor is Senior Lecturer, Fellow and Director of Studies in English at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, UK. He has published widely on Renaissance literature and has edited Neo-Latin and Translation in the Renaissance (2014), The Early Modern Cultures of Neo-Latin Drama (2013), and Neo-Latin and the Pastoral (2006), the latter two both with Philip Ford. Gesine Manuwald is Professor of Latin at University College London, UK, and President of the Society for Neo-Latin Studies (SNLS). She has published a number of articles on early modern Latin literature and edited the collected volume Neo-Latin Poetry in the British Isles (Bloomsbury, 2012) with Luke Houghton.
