LAT 18.02 Catullus

The poems of Catullus have been delighting, moving, and frequently shocking readers since he wrote them in the final years of the Roman republic. We will read extensively from this fascinating body of work, paying close attention to language and style. Significant themes will include love, friendship, obscenity, invective, gender, sexuality, poetics, and programmatics. In addition, we will study the literary culture of the late Republic and explore recent critical approaches to Catullus.
