Topic for Winter 2011:
LATN 395: Apuleius (3). In this class, we read and discuss works by Apuleius of Madaura, a second-century A.D. celebrity orator who wrote the Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass, the “novel” to which we devote the bulk of our attention. Although we focus on the novel, reading a significant portion of it in Latin and the entirety very closely in English, we also spend time on some of his other works and on secondary scholarship, in order to address questions of both history and art: what makes his works so entertaining, even to this day? What can they tell us about Roman society at the time of their composition? Can they teach us anything today, or should we read them simply for the pleasure of it? (HL) D. Carlisle.
