    Issue 4 • 2020 • Nostalgia and Playing with Latin


In this last issue of a thematic series on the relations between Latin schooling and the production of Latin literature, our theme is the mixture of nostalgia and playfulness that often characterizes the writing of Latin: nostalgia for the lost nativity of the language, for the idea of a bygone golden age of literature, or simply nostalgia for the school; and play as a means to deal with this nostalgia and make it productive.
