Main themes

An introduction to Latin literature.

Alternating with LGLOR 1432, this course deals with the following themes:

1. An outline of the literary genres of Latin literature;
2. A study of the choice of literary themes;
3. Ageneral presentation of the methods of transmission of Latin literature and of its aesthetic specificity.

Aims

At the end of this course, the student will have acquired a general view of the Latin literature, within a chronological and historic framework. He will be familiar with the Latin authors whose works are prescribed reading in the course. He will have acquired a method of clarifying, of researching and of presentation of references to ancient sources of Latin literature, including minor works and authors.

Evaluation methods

In BAC 12, the final mark takes account of:
- evaluation of the interrogations on the manual of Latin literature (60%);
- oral exam  based on a discussion of the dossier of the reading summaries (40%).

In BAC 13, the final mark takes account of:
- evaluation of the heuristic dossier (40%);
- an oral exam  based on a discussion of the dossier of the reading summaries (60%).

Teaching methods

The lectures present several subjects or chapters of Latin literature in the shape of summaries prepared by the lecturer. This will be fleshed out by personal study of the notions of the history of Latin literature from a manual, by a program of home reading of texts in translation, by technical exercises involving the search for references in a library.

Content

The course is organised around chosen literary themes, which are placed in their historical and cultural context.

A selection of works that are representative of Latin literature  will be proposed to the student, who will read them in a French translation and prepare a summary. The reading notes are to be handed in at the exam.

In BAC 12, the course requires the obligatory study of a manual of the history of Latin literature.
In BAC 13, the student must carry out an heuristic work, that aims to elucidate a reference list of Latin sources.
