MODULE BOOKLET

Academic year 2018-19

1 Outline The purpose of the module is to build upon Latin Language and Literature (or A Level) and to allow students both to broaden and to deepen their understanding of Latin by further reading of significant works by authors and in genres for the most part not previously studied. As well as developing the ability of students to translate from Latin, the module also includes discussion of literary and grammatical points. By the end of this module students should expect to have: • an advanced and comprehensive knowledge of Latin grammar • an appreciation of the history of the Latin language • an appreciation of the evolution of style in Roman texts in a number of genres and registers • the ability to translate set texts • some understanding of how language and style contribute to the overall comprehension of the texts • an awareness of how the thematic concerns of the individual books studied relate to the authors’ work as a whole • the ability to translate previously unprepared passages from the set authors • the ability to interpret and discuss critically aspects of the set texts and of some secondary bibliography

Texts The texts chosen for the academic year 2017-2018 are as follows: • Set Text 1: Virgil Aeneid 12 • Set Text 2: Sallust, Bellum Catilinae • Set Text 3: Cicero, Catilinarians 1

Complementary texts (to be studied in English) 2017-2018: • Virgil, Aeneid (recommended translation: D. West 2003, Penguin Classics) • Cicero, Catilinarians (recommended translation: C. MacDonald 1977 Loeb Classical Library)

Organisation

There are two classes per week. Each week, the first longer class is dedicated to studying set texts; the remaining class focuses on Latin grammar and unprepared translation practice, mostly on the complementary texts. Students are expected to prepare work at home in advance of the classes: sections of the set texts before the set texts classes (so that the class could be spent on refining translations, discussing difficult linguistic points, matters of style and interpretation) and grammar and translation exercises in advance of the grammar classes.

In the Winter examination, students will be expected to translate an extract from the first set text, to explain grammatical forms and constructions, and to comment on points of interest in style, content or interpretation in the selected passage. In the Summer examination, students will be expected: - to translate extracts from the remaining two set texts, to explain grammatical forms and constructions, and to comment on points of interest in style, content or interpretation in selected passages; - to produce a translation of a previously unseen passage of Latin taken from one of the set authors (e.g. an unseen taken from either Virgil, or Sallust, or Cicero).

Bibliography Virgil’s Aeneid Please read the Aeneid in English (recommended edition: D. West 2003, Penguin Classics). Excellent starting points for critical interpretations are: Hardie 1998 (an introduction to the poem), the companions by Martindale (ed.) (1997) and Horsfall (2000), and the selection of essays collected in Harrison (1990).
