Course summary

The substance of the course is tackling major works of Latin literature in both prose and verse. Pupils read a large portion in the original and the rest in translation. As well as a thorough grasp of the language and appreciation of the literary style, they have to develop a detailed understanding of many aspects of Roman life and culture. This gives pupils not only a deeper knowledge of the roots of our language and society but also a method for investigating and comprehending any society significantly different from our own. There are two literature modules, verse and prose. The test of language is by an unprepared translation
