| | Latin literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Literature written after the mid-2nd century has often been disparaged and ignored; in the Renaissance, for example, when many Classical authors were re-discovered and their style consciously imitated. | | | It was probably only after the invention of printing, which made books and pamphlets cheap enough that a mass public could afford them, and which made possible modern phenomena such as the newspaper, that a large number of people in the West could read and write who were not fluent in Latin. | | | After the Roman Empire split into its Western and Eastern halves, Greek, which had been widely used all over the Empire, faded from use in the West, all the more so as the political and religious distance between the Catholic West and the Orthodox, Greek East steadily grew. |

Most of what was written during those thousand years has been lost, but a fair amount still survives and we can read it today. | | | We like to think that the best writing has survived, but certainly some very good works have been lost, while some of what survives is not very good. |
