This volume deals with the question of the continuity of Latin   literature throughout its history. For the first time, contributions are   brought together from each of the three fields within the studies of Latin   literature: Classical, Medieval and Neo-Latin, reflecting on problems such   as the transmission of the Latin heritage, the creation and perpetuation of   a classical normativeness and the reactions against it.   The book is divided into three parts, corresponding to the theoretical   principle of organic development: "Beginnings?", "Perfections?",   "Transitions?", thus questioning the validity of a similar evolutionistic   model.  Because of the numerous points of contact between Latin and the national   literatures, the volume is of particular relevance for the studies of the   European literary history.    Contributors include: Davide Canfora, Perrine Galand-Hallyn, Sander   Goldberg, Thomas Haye, Marc van der Poel, Michael Roberts, Francesco   Stella, Wim Verbaal, Gregor Vogt-Spira, and Jan Ziolkowski.
