Anglo-Latin literature is literature from England and potentially other parts of English-speaking Britain originally written in Latin. A great deal of interest is invested in the literature of Britain in Germanic or Celtic languages, but literary production in Latin from medieval and post-medieval England and its insular neighbours is very rich.
