    Weekly
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (10 Weeks), Spring (10 Weeks), Summer (7 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 12
  • Start date: 09 October 2023
  • Description:

    We will continue our study of classical Latin beyond GCSE Level by examining any remaining 'constructions' not covered in our first five years and by reading a selection of passages from the works of Roman poets and prose-writers of the 'Golden' and 'Silver' ages of Latin literature. We will use, initially, a collection of short passages about wives, lovers, family, friends and places found in "Amor et Amicitia" (Cambridge University Press, 1989) ISBN 978-0-521-37736-2) by Patricia E. Bell. This text may need to be ordered 'on demand' from the publisher. Later in the year, but only after discussing things together in class, we could turn to "The Cambridge Latin Anthology" (Cambridge University Press, 1996) ISBN-13 978 0521578776 - a collection of longer passages. Newcomers to the group who have a good background in Latin will be most welcome. Let's continue to challenge ourselves by studying more Latin literature.
