Possible topics include Roman satire, Roman comedy and tragedy, love elegy, and epistolary writing. Meets concurrently with CLAS 401. Not open to students who have received credit for the current topic under CLAS 401 or who need to receive credit for CLAS 401. May be repeated when the topic is different. Topic for Fall 2020: Latin Love Elegy Close reading and translation of selected poems by the Latin love elegists Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid, plus excerpts from Catullus and Sulpicia, the only female Roman poet whose work has survived at any length from antiquity. We will consider such issues as literary self-representation, Roman concepts of love and sexuality, and erotic elegy as a form of social and political commentary in the Augustan period.
