At this time, the composition of Latin poetry was a regular feature of school curricula and a popular leisure-time activity of the educated elite. Such examination also sheds light on the poetic principles and practice of major British poets (such as Campion, Cowley, Herbert and Milton) who penned a large quantity of neo-Latin verse in addition to their better-known vernacular works.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLuke Houghton\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Classics, University of Glasgow.
