Neo-Latin drama was a significant European phenomenon, crafted by headmasters of Latin schools, Jesuits, and humanists who aimed to influence audiences, educate them, and ultimately transform society. These plays drew inspiration from the comedies of Roman authors like Plautus and Terence, as well as tragedies by Seneca. Contributors to this volume examine how Neo-Latin dramatists achieved their goals and the impact their works had. The plays circulated widely across Europe through print, manuscripts, school readings, and performances, demonstrating their ability to resonate with audiences. The reception of these works is multifaceted, encompassing the influence of Roman theatre during the Early Modern period, the dissemination of drama via print and performance, and the emotional and intellectual engagement of the audience. This volume discusses the reception of plays by notable authors such as George Buchanan, Daniel Heinsius, Gulielmus Gnapheus, Nicolas Caussin, John Foxe, Georg Bernhardt, and Cornelius Schonaeus, highlighting their contributions to the landscape of Neo-Latin drama and its enduring effects on society.
