An acknowledge expert in Latin poetry Latin poetry was a major part of Latin literature during the height of the Latin language. During Latin literature's Golden Age, most of the great literature was written in poetry, including works by Virgil, Catullus, and Horace. , academician Estelle Haan brings to the attention of modern audiences the work of a largely forgotten 18th century British poet in Vergilus Redivivus: Studies In Joseph Addison's Latin Poetry. Drawing upon the resources of th British Library British Library, national library of Great Britain, located in London. Long a part of the British Museum, the library collection originated in 1753 when the government purchased the Harleian Library, the library of Sir Robert Bruce Cotton, and groups of manuscripts. , London, Magdalen College Magdalen College or Magdalene College could be
  • Magdalene College, Cambridge - a constituent college of the University of Cambridge
  • Magdalen College, Oxford - a constituent college of the University of Oxford
, Oxford, and the Bodleian Library, Oxford, as well as the Special Collections and Inter-Library Loans divisions of the Queen's University Library, we are treated to an impressively detailed, original, and seminal scholarship that is hallmarked by an informed and informative text enhanced with a profusion of notations and references, as well as an extensive bibliography and detailed index. No personal or academic library's "Latin Poetry Studies" collection can be considered complete or comprehensive without the inclusion of Estelle Haan's Vergilius Redivivus.
