LATN 375 - Martial

FC ARHU CD
4 credits
In this course we will read the Epigrams of Martial, which provide a humorous and oftentimes gritty account of life in the Roman metropolis. Martial writes as both insider and outsider, who knows about cheap apartments and crashing parties; but as a literary artist, he also maintains the superior and refined position of artist and satirist. We will also work closely with Oberlin’s recently-acquired 15th century manuscript of Martial.
Prerequisites & Notes: LATN 202 or equivalent.
