Subject Description

This is a specialised reading subject, with analysis of the Roman prose novel, focusing on texts such as Petronius' Satyricon, Seneca's Apocolocyntosis, and Apuleius' Metamorphosis. Narrative structure, prose style, thematic content, and the relationship between the Roman novel and earlier literary traditions will be examined in detail. The place of the text within its original social context is assessed. Students who complete this subject should have reached an acceptable standard in translating and interpreting Latin texts, specifically the prose novel.

Assessment

Two hours of class tests, and written work totalling 2000 words for 2nd/3rd year, 3000 words for 4th year.
