      ab: Sixteenth-century England witnessed a remarkable flowering of neo-Latin poetry. Hundreds of volumes of verse were printed, a sign both of the impact of humanism and the continuing vitality of the classical tradition. One of the most important and interesting Elizabethan Latin poets is John Parkhurst, Bishop of Norwich. His "Ludicra" of 1573 is a substantial volume of several thousand lines, containing epigrams, epitaphs, occasional verses, religious poetry, and, unusually for an Englishman of this period, passionate love poetry. The importance of this corpus of poetry is assessed, and the influence of Martial, Catullus and Prudentius is examined, as an aspect of the continuing importance of the classical tradition in sixteenth-century England.
