Firstcollected volume dealing with the use of Latin under Fascism This book deals withthe use of Latin as a literary and epigraphic language under Italian Fascism(1922 1943). The myth of Rome lay at the heart of Italian Fascist ideology, andthe ancient language of Rome, too, played an important role in the regime s culturalpolitics. This collection deepens our understanding of Fascist Latinity , presents a range of previously little-known material, and opens up a number ofnew avenues of research. The chapters explore the pivotal role of Latin inconstructing a link between ancient Rome and Fascist Italy; the differentsocial and cultural contexts in which Latin texts functioned in the ventennio fascista; and the way in which Fascist Latinity relied on, and manipulated, the myth of Rome of latenineteenth- and early twentieth-century Italy.Contributors: William Barton (Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies), Xavier van Binnebeke (KU Leuven), Paolo Fedeli (Universita degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro), Han Lamers (University of Oslo), Johanna Luggin(Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies), Antonino Nastasi (Rome), Bettina Reitz-Joosse (University of Groningen), Dirk Sacre (KU Leuven), Valerio Sanzotta (Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies), Wolfgang Strobl(Toblach).
