LATN 309 - The Latin Novel: Apuleius and Petronius


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU, CD, WADV

In this course we will study the only complete Latin novel to have survived from antiquity, Apuleius’ Metamorphoses (better known as ‘The Golden Ass’). We will engage the complex stylistics of Apuleius’ Latin, and consider the cultural context of Roman North Africa in the 2nd century C.E. We will also study the critical tradition concerning the genre of the novel in general and the ancient novel in particular.
