The topic of the AANLS NeoLatin panel at the 145th Annual
Meeting of the APA in Chicago,
was “The World of Neo-Latin:
Current Research.” The panel
took place on January 5, the last
day of the conference. Bad
weather, flight cancellations, and
low attendance loomed over the
conference. Despite these
setbacks, the panel was an
excellent one, and all the papers
were well received and generated
good discussion. Annet den
Haan (Rijksuniversiteit
Groningen) presented on the
Biblical scholarship of Giannozzo
Manetti, Eric Hutchinson
(Hillsdale College) presented on
paraphrases of Psalm 1 in Hessus,
Buchanan, and Beza, Robert
Clinton Simms (Chuo
University) presented on the
Classical tradition and Thomas
May’s Supplementum Lucani,
Albert R. Baca (California State
University, Northridge) presented
on the de Arte Poetica of
Theophanes Prokopovich, and
Patrick Owens (Wyoming
Catholic College) presented on
Arcadius Avellanus, a twentienth
century Neo-Latinist.

The Second Annual
Neo-Latin Symposium at
the Kentucky Foreign
Language Conference
Lexington, Kentucky,
April 2014
by Jennifer Morrish Tunberg
The second annual Neo-Latin
Symposium, held under the
auspices of the Kentucky
Foreign Language Conference
(KFLC), took place on the
campus of the University of
Kentucky in Lexington,
Kentucky, on April 10-12, 2014.
Seventeen learned papers were
presented by scholars from
Australia, Brazil, Canada, Italy
and the United States. The
papers covered a wide range of
subjects and demonstrated the
fascinating diversity that defines
Neo-Latin literature. In addition
to the scholarly papers, there
were also two demonstrations of
typical classes in The Institute
for Latin Studies at the
University of Kentucky. The
Institute offers a curriculum at
the MA level in which the
language of instruction,
classroom interaction, reading
and writing is Latin.
The Neo-Latin Symposium at
KFLC was inaugurated to raise
awareness in North America of
Neo-Latin and to offer NeoLatinists everywhere a forum in
which to present current
research. We welcome scholars
at all levels from advanced
graduate students to established
professors to emeriti. It is our
hope that each person who
participates in the Symposium
will also attend the Neo-Latin
papers given by others and
contribute to the discussions
that follow each group of
papers. This year, many of the
participants remarked on how
much they had learned from the
papers, presentations and
discussions. Participants were
also able to interact with one
another during coffee breaks
and lunch. The Dinner for
Presenters (held this year at a
Lexington restaurant that
features locally sourced food)
also provided a relaxed and
enjoyable forum in which
participants could converse and
become better acquainted.

Humanism and Classical
Crisis: Anxiety, Intertexts, and
the Miltonic Memory (2014)
by Jacob Blevins
Blevins asserts that influence
and imitation are primarily
driven by anxious desires to
identify the poetic self with the
past while simultaneously
affirming the autonomy and
individuality of the self within
its own cultural, ideological,
and poetic moment.
