This genre, literary works combining Latin and English, is often referred to as Macaronic. The book's author provides numerous examples of Macaronic literature, with English as the common vernacular. The excerpts range from short samples to longer, complete poems. In addition to presenting these examples, the text discusses when, why, and by whom this unusual literary mixture was created and employed. The author positions the genre historically, discusses its themes, and suggests reasons that might have motivated its creation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
