About this Journal
The Journal of Latin Cosmopolitanism and European Literatures (JOLCEL) is a platform for research on the history of European literature from the perspective of Latin literature as a transnational and cosmopolitan influence. We encourage contributions on Latin literature throughout the ages and on the literatures and literary cultures with which Latin became entwined. With our dialogical format, we hope to join people and ideas in a discussion about what makes European literary identity.
