Course objectives

This class is a continuation of the course Roman Literature: Selected Themes I; the focus of this seminar is on the aspects of Roman poetry that are not dealt with in introductory courses on the history of Roman literature offered in the bachelor program and that are, however, subjects of modern academic research. In contrast with the preceding course, attention is paid to selected prose genres.

Syllabus

• Roman novel (Apuleius), philosophical and didactic dialogue (Cicero: De re publica, Macrobius: Saturnalia), philosophical epistle (Seneca: Epistulae morales), satirical prose (Petronius), Roman textbook and encyclopaedia (Cato: De agricultura, passages from Ad Marcum filium, Varro: De re rustica, Gellius: Noctes Atticae, Martianus Capella: De nuptiis Philologiae Mercuriique, Boethius: De institutione musica). Thoroughly analyzed is the subject matter of authorial prefaces. Students are also encouraged to put forward themes they themselves would like to discuss in the course.
