Prerequisites

Have successfully completed LFIAL1781 Latin language and texts : prose  or LFIAL1760 Introduction to Latin

Main themes

A plan of the course with further details is given  to students at the beginning of the academic year. The author for study changes every year. Preceded by rigorous translation work, analysis of the author highlights various aspects: philological criticism, grammatical observations and commentary on striking use of language, biographical, historical and cultural context of the work, documentary and human value of the message, introduction to the problems of literary criticism applied to a Latin text, study of literary genres, value as an example of a Latin text in the history of thought or literary aesthetics, realia.

Aims

By the end of this course, students will be able to "read" the text of a Latin poet from the Imperial or Republican period. This will involve various kinds of work: translation and grammatical, linguistic, historical, literary and, more globally, cultural commentary. For the translation and comprehension of Latin authors, this course will highlight the linguistic and cultural reference points for today's readers in the literary production of Latin antiquity.

Evaluation methods

Oral examination on the lectures and on an individual reading assignment.
