Edited and translated by Mark Riley & Dorothy Pritchard Huber
Series: Bibliotheca latinitatis novae.
In US and Canada: Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies volume 273, in the series 'Neo-Latin texts and translations'
Until the seventeenth century, prose fiction similar to our novel was rare in Latin literature. From Roman times we have only Petronius' 'Satyricon' and Apuleius' 'Metamorphoses'. From the medieval period we have epics in verse, but no prose fiction. In the Renaissance we find some original short fiction, such as the very popular 'Historia de duobus amantibus', by Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini and Sir Thomas More's 'Utopia'.
When John Barclay wrote the 'Argenis', he wrote the first well-constructed, popular long novel. The work includes many deliberative passages on contemporary issues, making his book more than passing entertainment. The 'Argenis' went through more than fifty editions in the next one hundred years and was translated into all the major European languages. The Argenis began a fashion for original Latin novels, of which a number were written down to 1741.
