Neo-Latin

All Senior Members, Postgraduate Students, and Academic Visitors Welcome

Cultures across Languages – Cambridge Society for Neo-Latin Studies Seminar

The seminar brings together scholars and students interested in any aspect of Latin in the postclassical world, whether this is imaginative literature in Latin, or Latin as the primary language of intellectual exchange in premodern periods, and its sundry interactions with the vernaculars. In its new home under the English Faculty’s sponsorship, the seminar aims to offer a space for thinking in particular about English writing and cultural practice against the broader multilingual canvas of culture within, across, and beyond premodern Europe.
