Latin Literary Texts 2B
Please note: this is archived course information from 2017 for LATIN 202.
Description
Do you want to know more about Latin literature? Understand what distinguishes Ovid from Sulpicia, Seneca from Plautus? What it meant to write Latin literature in the Republic, versus the Empire? In the “Latin literary texts” papers (2A, 2B, 2D, 3A and 3B) we read Latin literature in the original and answer these questions and more. We seek to understand the works in all their glory: content, themes, language, genre, style and social context. We teach different authors, works and genres in different years so that as you proceed through the different literature papers you build up a rich understanding of Latin literature as a whole.
