Ce que nous savons de la littérature latine et qui nous est présenté dans un cadre chronologique impeccable est une construction, une appropriation, fruit d'une conquête héroïque : des œuvres arrachées au néant par le travail des copistes, retrouvées par les Pétrarque, les Poggio Bracciolini, infatigables chasseurs de manuscrits, rendues à leur vérité textuelle et historique par des philologues brûlant de l’ardor eruditionis, diffusées par les éditeurs, les traducteurs ; constamment réinterprétées, réinventées à travers une longue série d’aléas et de débats passionnés qui réactualisent le canon, débats qui dépassent l’académie, enflamment la République des Lettres, mobilisent notamment ces lecteurs privilégiés que sont les grands écrivains. Aussi ces pages, qui racontent l’histoire de cette histoire, offrent-elles, à côté de Virgile et d’Ovide, à côté de Politien, de Juste Lipse, de Lachmann, les noms de Montaigne, Hugo, Laurent Tailhade, Huysmans. Rendu possible par les nombreux travaux qu’a suscités, par delà l’Humanisme, l’intérêt porté à l’histoire de la réception, le point de vue choisi commande l’organisation du livre. En premier lieu, détachés des autres par leur œuvre polyvalente et réunis sous le titre, repris à Dante, de « La Bella scuola », quatre noms qui n’ont jamais disparu de l’horizon, astres majeurs au « ciel » de la littérature latine : Virgile, Cicéron, Horace, Ovide. Suivent, vaste zodiaque, les représentants des principaux genres de prose et de poésie : Philosophie (Lucrèce, Sénèque, les Platonismes), Histoire, Théâtre, Roman, les Genres poétiques (Épopée, Élégie, Satire, Épigramme, Fable et Silve, les Poètes « mineurs »), Épistoliers et Orateurs et enfin Théorie de l’éloquence. Une troisième partie est consacrée à la Littérature technique (Pline,Vitruve, etc.) et érudite (les polygraphes, les grammairiens). Écrit sous la plume savante et sensible de Pierre Laurens, enrichi de nombreux extraits en traduction, l’ouvrage se clôt par une quatrième partie consacrée à cette poussière d’étoiles qu’on appelle la « Littérature latine inconnue ».

The Latin language is popularly imagined in a number of specific ways: as a masculine language, an imperial language, a classical language, a dead language. This book considers the sources of these metaphors and analyses their effect on how Latin literature is read. It argues that these metaphors have become idées fixes not only in the popular imagination but in the formation of Latin studies as a professional discipline. By reading with and more commonly against these metaphors, the book offers a different view of Latin as a language and as a vehicle for cultural practice. The argument ranges over a variety of texts in Latin and texts about Latin produced by many different sorts of writers from antiquity to the twentieth century.
