LAT 18.03 Intermediate Topics in Latin: The Italian Countryside

The environmental concerns of our own time find a counterpart in the Roman fascination with the beauty and fragility of the rural landscape and natural world. Readings may come from pastoral poetry, represented especially by Vergil’s Eclogues; the literature of farming and agriculture, including Vergil’s Georgics; and related themes in works by Varro, Horace, Tibullus, and others. This course is taught conjointly with LAT 31 The Italian Countryside, but with assignments adjusted for the needs of less-experienced Latinists. Students may not take both LAT 18.03 and LAT 031 for credit.
