	Latin literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Latin literature, the body of written works in the Latin language, remains an enduring legacy of the culture of ancient Rome.
		The period of Classical Latin, when Latin literature is widely considered to have reached its peak, is divided into the Golden Age, which covers approximately the period from the start of the 1st century BC up to the mid-1st century AD, and the Silver Age, which extends into the 2nd century AD.
		Literature written after the mid-2nd century has often been disparaged and ignored; in the Renaissance, for example, when many Classical authors were re-discovered and their style consciously imitated.

	Golden Age of Latin literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The golden age of Latin literature, in Latin Latinitas aurea, is a period consisting roughly of the time from 75 BC to AD 14, covering the end of the Roman Republic and the reign of Augustus Caesar.
		Classical Latin continued to be used into the Silver Age of Latin literature, the 1st and 2nd centuries.
		In prose, Golden Age Latin is exemplified by Julius Caesar, whose Commentaries on the Gallic Wars display a laconic, precise, military style; and by Marcus Tullius Cicero, a practicing lawyer and politician, whose judicial arguments and political speeches, most notably the Catiline Orations, were considered for centuries to be the best models for Latin prose.

	Latin literature. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Vergil, the greatest of Latin epic poets, exemplifies a new atmosphere in the Augustan age, with his celebration—and somber questioning—of the new empire.
		The Latin language became the standard language of the West and by far the greater bulk of medieval literature as well as records, documents, and letters was written in Latin (see patristic literature; Medieval Latin literature; Roman law).
		Latin literature, as such, is nearly dead, for its cultivation is limited to the ever-narrowing circles of classicists and to the Roman Catholic Church, which adds new matter to the liturgy only rarely and confines use of extraliturgical Latin to official, nonliterary documents.

		It revised in Gaul with the eighth century, when the classic Latin literature was again studied with ardour This is not the place to treat of the Carlovingian renaissance nor to attempt the history of the schools and studies of the Middle Ages.
		Latin grammar is reduced to an abridgment of Donatius, supplemented by the meagre commentaries of the teacher, and replaced since the thirteenth century by the "Doctrinale" of Alexander de Villedieu (de Villa Dei).
		As to Latin studies, in particular, the Church continued to influence very actively their development At the beginning of the modern era Latin was the court language of sovereigns, notably of the Italian chanceries.

		Latin stood for all that was noble and civilized.
		The literature of Graeco-Roman antiquity has always found a home in humanist schools and universities; the study of medieval literature has the Catholic Church for its patron; and the modern vernacular literatures have all the resources of the nation-states behind them.
		Ancient Latin literature could not truly be said to be alive once more until modern writers were able to capture their own experience in that incomparable vehicle of thought and feeling that is the Latin language.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Literature in Early Christianity
		The Latin language was not at first the literary and official organ of the Christian Church in the West.
		Beginning with the second century, Latin translations of technical works written in Greek became numerous treatises on medicine, botany, mathematics, etc. These translations served a practical purpose, and were made by professionals; consequently they had no literary merit and aimed at an almost servile exactitude resulting in the retention of many peculiarities of the original.
		Early Christian literature in the West may be regarded as ending with the accession of Theodoric (408).

	Medieval Latin literature on Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of the main characteristics of the emerging literature was the fundamentally Christian tone; the other was the use of a simpler and more flexible Latin, which drew from the common speech of Rome and the provinces.
		The Latin used in the Church services, based on the simplified language, was therefore preserved long after all Latin was replaced in common speech by the vernacular tongues.
		Dante's precise Latin writing could scarcely be called medieval in its form, and the humanists with their Ciceronian prose and Vergilian eclogues were setting out to destroy, not to reform, Medieval Latin.

		Latin- American literature blossomed and received international acclaim in the 1960s and 1970s with the so-called boom in the novel, a movement signaled by the publication of major works by the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez, the Mexican Carlos Fuentes, the Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa, the Argentine Julio Cortázar, and the Chilean José Donoso.
		It was then that writers began to abandon Latin as the language of literature and write in one of the Italian dialects used in common speech.

		He had translations made from original documents in the Carthaginian language; and a complete synopsis of Roman history, for reference during the progress of his work, was compiled for him by a Greek secretary.
		His style, compressed, rhetorical, and very highly polished, is in strong contrast to the graceful and fluid periods which were then, and for some time later continued to be, the predominant fashion, and foreshadows the manner of Seneca or Tacitus.
		His archaism in the use of pure Latin, and, alongside of it, his free adoption of Grecisms, are the first open sign of two movements which profoundly affected the prose of the earlier and later empire.

		It is generally acknowledged that the literature of the Greeks and Romans is among the most beautiful and powerful expressions of the human mind.

		I propose this morning to discuss the value of the classics to students of English literature from, as the modern phrase goes, a slightly different angle.
		I put to you what I posited in an earlier course of lectures, quoting Bagehot, that while a knowledge of Greek and Latin is not necessary to a writer of English, he should at least have a firm conviction that those two languages existed.
		But, although a student of English Literature be ignorant of Greek and Latin as languages, may he not have Greek and Latin literature widely opened to him by intelligent translations?

		One of the most challenging features of the AP Latin Literature course is to balance literal, almost prosaically accurate translation with a rendition that captures the spirit and essence of the language of the poets (or of Cicero).
		Hand in hand with the ability to produce both literal and literary translations and to appreciate the difference is the ability to recognize and discuss the effect of the abundant figures of speech and stylistic devices that are characteristic of each author's style.
		Although one's reaction to or interpretation of poetry is often personal, students must learn to clarify in their essays why they react in a particular way, or what makes them think the author means a particular thing.
