Baroque (c. 1580-c. 1720) is important as the earliest aesthetic - and cultural - movement to have global impact, spread as it was through dynastic ambition, mercantilism, and missionary fervour. Latin, as a supranational language, played a major role in propagating this style. In literature, Baroque was characterized by rhetorical devices, especially through exaggerated forms such as paradoxes, anachronisms, antitheses, and oxymora that roused the emotions and engaged the senses. Interfacing with vernacular literature, the Neo-Latin literature of the 17th century contributed not only to the development of drama, but to the rise of the novel, as well as to the evolution of more traditional forms such as the epic and the epigram. Beyond belles lettres, Latin supplied lyrics to musical compositions of the time and was employed in the visual arts. In politics, Latin served as the language of treatises and contracts; in religion, it furthered the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation. It became the language of international scientific communication, used to announce and explain new discoveries. The ability to write in the common European language of scholarship was an indicator of educational achievement in an age when rhetorical and grammatical competence was demanded.Because 'Baroque' post-dates the art to which it was applied, coming into familiar use only since the nineteenth century, and because 17th-century culture was seen traditionally as a decline after the flourishing of Renaissance Humanism, this term fell out of fashion in the 1960s and 1970s. However, there has been a renewal of interest in Baroque during the past decade, due to scholarly initiatives that challenge traditional - especially European-centred - historical narratives. The term has become a focus of discussion among art historians, but literary scholars are only beginning to enter the debate. It is urgent now to move the research agenda forward - to expand on the collection of articles edited by Jan Bloemendal and Nigel Smith, Politics and Aesthetics in European Baroque and Classicist Tragedy (2016) - and to uncover aspects of a period in literature that have been forgotten, but also while looking beyond periodization in an attempt to comprehend how literary practice traverses geographic and linguistic borders. A re-examination is required from a broad range of international experts to reinvigorate and challenge past thoughts around the Baroque in literature. Our network will bring together a group of UK and Continental scholars, as well as librarians, to uncover aspects of Baroque that have been lost and to offer new understandings of literary practice and intellectual movements, rather than simply to provide further information for period-based cultural history. Our project will generate fruitful and novel interaction not only by amalgamating ongoing research, but by searching out forgotten texts in order to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of Baroque writing.Our first objective, through this timely re-examination, is to spin off major, long-term projects, to be determined through confronting major questions relating to Latin writing and the artistic concept of the Baroque, and the use of Latin in the expression of the new ideas of the Baroque era - in politics, commerce, science, and art. By amalgamating the individual research of network participants in our workshops, we will be able to draw up a perceptive and inclusive outline of the issues underlying Baroque Latinity, and thus be able to identify the most promising pathways for long-term projects.Our second objective, through our public engagement activities, is to raise the profile of 17th-century Latin and to signal its importance in the formation of modern society. Latin is often thought of as an antiquated ('dead') language, while its use and influence lasted well into the modern era - indeed, the majority of all surviving Latin texts come from the 17th century.

巴洛克（1580 -C。1720）是最早的美学和文化运动，具有全球影响，像王朝的野心，重商主义和传教士的热情一样传播。拉丁语作为一种超凡的语言，在传播这种风格方面发挥了重要作用。在文学中，巴洛克式的特征是修辞手段，尤其是通过夸张的形式，例如悖论，不安，反思和矛盾，使情绪引起了情感并吸引了感官。 17世纪的新拉丁文学与白话文学的接触不仅促进了戏剧的发展，还促进了小说的兴起，以及诸如史诗和史诗般的传统形式的演变。除了Belles Lettres之外，拉丁语还提供了当时的音乐作品的歌词，并受雇于视觉艺术。在政治上，拉丁语是论文和合同的语言；在宗教中，它进一步推动了罗马天主教的反改革。它成为国际科学沟通的语言，用于宣布和解释新发现。在需要用修辞和语法能力的时代，以欧洲奖学金的共同语言写作的能力是指出教育成就的指标。因为“巴洛克式”之后是“巴洛克式”之后的现代艺术，仅在19世纪以来才熟悉，自从19世纪以来，只有17世纪的文化被传统地被视为富裕的人类繁荣时期的传统上，这是一种统治时期的人类，而这一典型的人类却被赋予了1970年的术语。但是，由于学术倡议挑战了传统的倡议，尤其是以欧洲为中心的历史叙事，因此在过去的十年中，人们对巴洛克式的兴趣更新。该术语已成为艺术史学家中讨论的重点，但是文学学者才刚刚开始参加辩论。现在迫切需要推动研究议程的发展 - 扩大由Jan Bloemendal和Nigel Smith编辑的文章收集，欧洲巴洛克式和古典主义的悲剧（2016年）中的政治和美学，并发现文学时期的一段时期的各个方面已被遗忘，但同时又忽略了周期性的尝试，试图了解文学实践的文学练习和Lirantary Geoprication and anderary anderary anderare and andory anderary and andoragrical and ligonal and ligonals and andonical and ligonical and ligonical and inonical and inonical and inonical andinical and inonical。众多国际专家需要重新检查，以振兴和挑战文学中巴洛克式过去的思想。我们的网络将汇集一组英国和大陆学者以及图书馆员，以发现丢失的巴洛克式各个方面，并提供对文学实践和知识运动的新理解，而不是仅仅为基于时期的文化历史提供更多信息。我们的项目将不仅通过合并正在进行的研究来产生富有成果和新颖的互动，而且通过搜索被遗忘的文本以对巴洛克式写作有更全面的理解。我们的第一个目标，通过这种及时的重新审查，要散发出重大的长期项目，是通过与拉​​丁语和艺术概念有关的重大概念来确定的，而不是在拉丁语中的概念来确定 - 拉丁的概念，并以拉丁语为单位的概念 - 政治，商业，科学和艺术。通过将网络参与者的个人研究合并在我们的研讨会中，我们将能够制定对巴洛克式拉属潜在的问题的敏锐和包容性的概述，从而能够确定长期项目的最有希望的途径。通过我们的公共参与活动，我们的第二个目标是提高17世纪拉丁和现代社会的重要性，以提高17座现代拉丁文的特征。拉丁语通常被认为是一种过时的（“死”）语言，而其使用和影响力一直持续到现代 - 实际上，所有幸存的拉丁文本中的大多数来自17世纪。
