L537: Survey of Latin Literature II

This course meets on Monday's from 4:00-6:15PM.

	This course continues the reading program begun in L536. It
will begin where L536 broke off, with late Augustan literature
including Ovid’ erotic poems and proceed through the Neronian and
Flavian periods. All major, and some minor authors will be
represented; Latin reading assignments will be modest, with extensive
readings in translation and in historical background. In addition to
tri-weekly papers, two short in-class reports will be assigned. There
will be no final examination but an additional reading list in
preparation for the PhD Exam in Latin Literature will be distributed
at the end of the semester.

Books: Select Cambridge Classical Commentary editions, Penguin and
Oxford World Classics translations to be ordered; students who wish
to acquire OCT's should consult the instructor this fall about
ordering independently from the Oxford Press at a discount.
