Anglo-Latin literature

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 explicit references to literature in Latin are scattered and rare. Literary production in Latin from Britain is very rich, yet it is hard to find a good description of the whole picture. This page starts as a work in progress area to cover that need.
