Mapping the Latin Enlightenment: Centres and Peripheries

一位澳大利亚人将带领一个国际团队，重新找回18世纪欧洲庞大但被忽视的拉丁语文化，恢复在那个时代有影响力的“失落”作家，并评估拉丁文学和科学网络对启蒙文化的贡献。我们关于启蒙运动的全国对话将从几乎独家关注的法国和英国扩展到意大利和荷兰，这两个国家对澳大利亚和我们地区具有重要的历史意义。该项目将进一步提升澳大利亚在意大利文学研究中的声誉，通过追踪文艺复兴后拉丁人文主义的影响，为该领域设定新的方向。结果包括专著、评论选集和研究培训。

An Australian will lead an international team to reclaim the massive but neglected Latin-language culture of 18th-C Europe, restoring 'lost' authors influential in their day and assessing the contribution of Latin literary and scientific networks to Enlightenment culture. Our national conversation on the Enlightenment will expand from a near-exclusive focus on France and England to Italy and the Netherlands, countries of historical importance to Australia and our region. The project will further enhance Australia's high reputation in Italian literature studies, setting a new direction in the field by tracking the influence of Latin humanism beyond the Renaissance. Outcomes include a monograph, critical anthologies, and research training.
