The Society for Neo-Latin Studies (SNLS) warmly invites graduate students and Early Career Researchers to contribute to a public engagement project: The Early Modern Latin in London Walking Tour, planned for early June 2023.

The walking tour will introduce members of the public to Latin from the early modern period as it appears across the capital: on monuments, in literature about famous landmarks, on signs, and in artwork.

We are looking for graduate students and ECRs to collaborate in developing stops on this walking tour; and, if interested, to participate in the tours. Contributions will be approximately 500 words on a Neo-Latin stop along the proposed tour route. Our group will work together to develop the tour as a whole, and provides a good opportunity to meet others interested in Latin and the Early Modern.

As a starting point, examples for the tour might include:

1. Inscriptions at St Paul’s Cathedral;
2. Monument to the Fire of London;
3. Descriptions of London in Neo-Latin literature.

The SNLS seeks to encourage the teaching and learning of Neo-Latin in scholarly and public activities. This event is being developed by the SNLS Early-Career, and Public Engagement Representatives, with the aim of engaging scholars interested in public engagement connected to Neo-Latin research and teaching.

If you are interested in getting involved, please email Rebecca Menmuir (r.menmuir@qmul.ac.uk) and Sharon van Dijk (s.vandijk.1@bham.ac.uk). More information on the SNLS can be found at https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/ren/snls/.

Registration is now open for this 2-day conference on medieval and early modern literature dealing with various aspects of (in)authenticity. Our keynotes will be Professor Emeritus Alastair Minnis (Yale) and Professor Leah Whittington (Harvard). 

The event will take place on 30-31 March 2023. The physical element of the conference is based at Senate House, University of London, with online participation possible. All forms of attendance are free and bursaries are available to assist those wishing to attend in person. 

Please see authenticity2023.wordpress.com for more conference details, including booking information, the conference programme, and bursary details.
