Subject:

Description:

Students read the lyric poetry of Sappho, Pindar, Catullus, and Horace through centuries of translations and imitations by British and American writers. Students look at metrical and linguistic maps of the original works, compare translations of a few key poems, and study the many kinds of imitation they generated. Students with foreign language skills, in Greek and Latin, or in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian, or any other languages into which these poets have been translated, are encouraged to bring their knowledge to bear on the texts.
