Reinventing Tacitus: The Dynamics of Reappropriation
September 26-27, 2024
This international conference explores how early modern interpretations of Tacitus influence later engagements in the cultural imagination. Rather than attempt to prove unbroken continuity in the reception of Tacitus, this conference examines distinct eruptions of interest in Tacitus. As successive eras rediscover Tacitus, the echoes of previous rediscoveries either persist or die away. Such dynamic reception exposes the influences of Tacitus on the moment as well as their effects on future iterations.
All sessions take place at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies
Innrain 52a, Innsbruck
