During the last decades the vast corpus of Danish Neo-Latin literature has been the object of growing scholarly attention. In this collection of articles Professor Minna Skafte Jensen analyses a number of poems by some of the most important Danish writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Central themes are investigated -- among them love, friendship and Lutheranism -- and Danish Neo-Latin poetry is placed in its European context.

Minna Skafte Jensen has a lifetime's experience of teaching Homer to students of Greek or of classics in translation at the Universities of Copenhagen and Southern Denmark, and she has written extensively on the subject. Her two most important contributions are The Homeric Question and the Oral-Formulaic Theory (Copenhagen 1980) and Homer og hans tilhørere (Copenhagen 1992).
