Seeking to address an imbalance in the study of Neo-Latin, this volume highlights European literature in Latin from the Baroque era. With contributions by scholars from a range of disciplines and countries, looking at texts from across Europe, the volume uses a case-study approach to deepen scholarly understanding into this important literary ouvre and inspire future research.

A key aim of the volume is to address the distinctiveness of these texts, interrogating the usefulness and specificity of the term 'Baroque' 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 the interplay of theory and practice of the 'Baroque', including its debts to and deviations from ancient models, and its limits and limitations.
