Latin Literature
To define the Latin literature can lend to debate. From the chronological point of view, one continued to write very a long time in Latin (see, for example, certain poems of the Fleurs of the evil published in 1857), but the majority of the stories of the Latin literature relate only to the texts written under the Republic and the Roman Empire.
One can also put the question of the texts to include; one generally takes into account very varied texts of nature: work of history like those of Tacit Salluste and , the legal speeches, those of Cicéron in particular, the philosophical treaties, those of Sénèque for example… That is justified by the differences graft the Latin designs of the letters and the modern vision of the literature.
The Latin literature was very strongly influenced by Greece. Ella has, in its turn, largely influenced the literature and European arts of the later centuries, particularly those of the traditional time.
The Latin language was used much for the Christian ecclesiastical literature, whose most important compilation is the Patrologia Latina of the Abbé Migne.
