Latin Political Propaganda offers the first comprehensive study of the central role played by the Latin language to celebrate or undermine political power during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1715). Waged as much on the printed page as on the battlefield, this worldwide conflict gave rise to an astonishing variety of Latin writing across the Continent - in verse or in prose - on both the pro-Habsburg and pro-Bourbon sides. Ranging from official documents, epic, satirical and panegyric poetry to defamatory pamphlets, letters, historiographical and juridical tracts, medals and ephemeral architecture, this vast textual corpus has gone almost unnoticed. Alejandro Coroleu provides close examination of the literary devices of these texts and shows how imitation of models and figures from classical antiquity was at the heart of the authors' highly refined verse and prose technique. He also pays attention to the historical and social context in which the texts emerged, and connects the Latin political writing produced at the time with more popular forms of propagandistic discourse (literary or visual) which found its expression in the vernacular. This book also reveals how the learned language continued to function - even after the hostilities had come to an end in July 1715 - as an instrument of political discourse and propaganda on both sides of the dynastic feud up until the death of Emperor Charles VI in October 1740.

"Waarom beleven we zoveel plezier aan het lezen van een goed boek? Waarom genieten we zo van treurige liedjes en het bespreken van droevige of amusante literatuur? In dit breed opgezette onderzoek ontrafelt Jeroen Jansen hoe scherpzinnigheid, ontraadseling, zintuiglijkheid, verwondering, emotionaliteit en ontspanning het genoegen van de zeventiende-eeuwse toehoorder en lezer waarborgden. Uitgangspunt vormt steeds de relatie tussen de auteur en zijn publiek, waartussen de tekst bemiddelt. Literatuur biedt zich in deze periode aan in een bonte variëteit van proza en poëzie, uiteenlopend van bondige spreuken en pakkende spreekwoorden tot vernuftige emblemen en deviezen, hartstochtelijk toneel, opbeurende liederen, schunnige raadsels en flauwe grappen. Deze studie laat zien wat die diversiteit aan teksten aantrekkelijk maakte, hoe ze de lezer geboeid hielden en hoe interpretatie, meegevoel en gezamenlijke consumptie voor literair vermaak moesten zorgen." --
