Course Catalog Description:
Topics in Latin literature examined in depth. Emphasizes current scholarship, original student research.
Class Description:
We'll focus on is the two interrelated issues of intertextuality (essentially allusion studied on a more holistic and theoretical level) and reception (the same general idea for influence). Our readings will include passages and scenes from tragedy, historiography, and other genres of Greek as well as Latin. We'll look at some related passages in the same language and others between Greek and Latin. Students may register for either language.

The semester will be structured around a series of readings in scholarship dealing with the ways these phenomena have been dealt with over time. Each of these sessions will use a text or set of texts to illustrate the points and allow us to look firsthand at advantages and problems. Our main goals are to understand what is involved with and to be gained by this form of study and to get a sense of why these areas - once thought to be quite obvious and basic - have become so active and so much more complex.
