Tpcs in Latin Literature

(4 Credits)

Topics vary from semester to semester, although the focus is always on an aspect of Latin literature: comedy, epic, lyric & elegy, satire, or history. As well as reading and understanding the texts, we will be seeking to examine their place in the development of Latin literature; we will also be surveying a variety of critical approaches adopted by modern scholars, through close readings of key articles and books on the the different authors.
