Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

“Who, when, where?” Intriguing Encounters in Latin Literature
This lecture course will be devoted to a variety of encounters with different personalities within different landscapes, both real and imaginary. I plan to emphasize close readings of different passages from different genres, both verse and prose, both famous and lesser-known, from Classical, Late Latin, and Medieval Latin Literature.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students will be expected to submit a short essay (3-5 pages) with a similar original exercise of their own on a passage that attracts them.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The lectures will be delivered in English, but students are welcome to ask questions in and write their essays and exams in German, French, or Italian. The course might also be of interest to students of Comparative Literature.

Examination topics

Depending on COVID, students will either take a written translation exam or an oral translation exam drawn from the readings covered in the lectures.

Reading list

Readings will be posted online in Moodle
