Elegiac Poetry

Catalog description

In this course we shall translate and interpret selected elegies by Catullus, Tibulius, Propertius, and Ovid. We will also devote considerable class time to the reading and in-depth analysis of the major secondary literature, starting with the introductory pieces in the newest companions published by Brill and Cambridge, and moving on to fundamental articles and perhaps even a full scholarly monograph. Offered as LATN 356 , LATN 456 , WLIT 336 , and WLIT 436 . Prereq: 200-level LATN or equivalent.
