Latin Language and Literature
- Master
- Humanities
The program in Latin Language and Literature covers the entire period from the 7th century B.C.-when the earliest evidence of the Latin language dates back-to the 7th century A.D., the era in which the last Latin author of antiquity lived.
This program introduces students to Latin culture, the diachronic study of the language, and its various literary genres: both in poetry (comedy, tragedy, epic, satire, elegy, didactic poetry, etc.) and in prose (historiography, epistolary writing, philosophical treatises, oratory, scholastic rhetoric, etc.). The translation, analysis, and commentary on various works help highlight the historical and cultural context in which the texts were composed. Thematic tracks related to the literary treatment of historical, religious, and philosophical subjects are also offered.
During the program, a study trip is offered to students to familiarize them with various sites in Italy and elsewhere that are significant to Latin literature.
