Friendship & Poetry: Studies in Danish Neo-Latin Literature

During the last decades the vast corpus of Danish Neo-Latin literature has been the object of growing scholarly attention. In this collection of articles Professor Minna Skafte Jensen analyses a number of poems by some of the most important Danish writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Central themes are investigated -- among them love, friendship and Lutheranism -- and Danish Neo-Latin poetry is placed in its European context.
