THE PRESENCE OF ROME IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN BRITAIN Texts, Artefacts, and Beliefs He studies the Classical tradition and is author of Virgil’s Schoolboys: The Poetics of Pedagogy in Renaissance England (2010), along with essays on authors and topics ranging from Shakespeare and Spenser to Lily’s Grammar. andrew wallace is Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at Carleton University. ‘The Ordinary’, ‘The Self’, ‘The Word’, and ‘The Dead’ are taken as compass points by which individuals lived out their orientations to, and against, Rome, isolating important dimensions of Rome’s enduring ability to shape and complicate the effort to come to terms with the nature of self and the structure of human community. Wallace presses medieval texts in a range of languages (including Latin, medieval Welsh, Old English and Old French) into conversation with early modern English and humanistic Latin texts (including works by Gildas, Bede, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Bacon, St Augustine, Dante, Erasmus, Luther, and Montaigne). This book explores the cultural and intellectual stakes of medieval and Renaissance Britain’s sense of itself as living in the shadow of Rome, a city whose name could designate the ancient, fallen, quintessentially human power that had conquered and colonized Britain, and also the alternately sanctified and demonized Roman Church.
