Abstract

The majority of early modern authors who wrote Latin verse wrote love poems. They did so in a variety of genres and styles, engaging not only with classical Roman and Greek models, but also with mediaeval and contemporary vernacular traditions of poetry. Their poetry had a transnational dimension, but also needs to be situated within local and national contexts. They used the poetic discourse of love to reflect and comment on wider social, ethical and literary issues, and reconfigured its codes of representation in response to changing conceptions of love in the philosophical and religious spheres. Their poetry often aligned itself with dominant discourses of power and gender, but it could also be subtly subversive or even openly transgressive.
