Long live Latin : the pleasures of a useless language
Gardini, Nicola2019
Books
Often seen as the bulky relic of school curricula long forgotten, Latin seems to have lost its punch in the popular conscious. Oxford academic Nicola Gardini, however, argues the case for its lasting importance, offering a personal and passionate defence of the beauty and future of the language. Gardini encourages us to dig to the roots of our own language and examines how Latin has influenced the ways in which we communicate.
