In this wide-ranging collection of critical essays, offered to J.B.Trapp on his retirement as Director of the Warburg Institute (University of London), some of the central problems in the interpretation of post-classical Latin poetry are addressed. Through a variety of critical approaches, an international team of experts casts light on the issues of imitation and originality in Latin Poetry from late antiquity to the high Renaissance, demonstrating the richness and subtlety of the classical tradition in its literary exponents. This book should be of interest to cultural and literary historians of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as scholars and students concerned with classical poetry and its interpretation.
