BLOOMSBURY NEO-LATIN SERIES

Series editors: William M. Barton, Stephen Harrison, Gesine Manuwald and Bobby Xinyue

Early Modern Texts and Anthologies

Edited by Stephen Harrison and Gesine Manuwald

The Early Modern Texts and Anthologies strand of the Bloomsbury Neo-Latin Series presents editions of texts with English translations, introductions and notes. Volumes include complete editions of longer single texts and themed anthologies bringing together texts from particular genres, periods or countries and the like.

These editions are primarily aimed at students and scholars and intended to be suitable for use in university teaching, with introductions that give authoritative but not exhaustive accounts of the relevant texts and authors, and commentaries that provide sufficient help for the modern reader in noting links with classical Latin texts and bringing out the cultural context of writing.

Alongside the series Studies in Early Modern Latin Literature strand, it is hoped that these editions will help to bring important and interesting Neo-Latin texts of the period from 1350 to 1800 to greater prominence in study and scholarship, and make them available for a wider range of academic disciplines as well as for the rapidly growing study of Neo-Latin itself.

William M. Barton is Key Researcher at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies, Innsbruck, Austria. His research focuses primarily on engagements with the natural environment and landscape in Latin literature. Within this broad field, his interests have centred on the shifting attitudes towards the mountain in early modern Latin literature, the representation of natures creative power in the post-classical period and the depiction of the natural world in early descriptions of la Nouvelle-France. Bartons more recent published work in these fields includes the monograph Mountain Aesthetics in Early Modern Latin Literature (2016) and a critical edition with introduction, translation and commentary of the late-antique Pervigilium Veneris (2018).
