| CLA1011 | Intermediate Latin Language and Literature 1 |
normally, successful completion of CLA1011; exceptionally, and at the discretion of the module leader, other qualifications (such as A-level Latin to a very high standard, or Latin qualifications from another university) may be accepted
N/A
This module is normally taken as the natural sequel to CLA1011 taught in Semester 1. Both modules comprise a language and a literature component; the two elements are inseparable and reinforce each other. We will study a verse text (Vergil) and a prose text (Sallust), paying attention both to consolidating students' language skills and to literary analysis.
The overall aims of this module are to:
•further develop and consolidate knowledge of Latin grammar, vocabulary and style, to a level allowing students more independent study of Latin texts
•further develop students’ skills and knowledge required for the detailed study of a Latin prose or verse text.
Of the 4 hours a week, two will be devoted to studying the grammar, language, style and content of a verse text (Vergil, Aeneid, following on from CLA1011), two to a prose text (normally Sallust's Catiline or Jugurtha).
- further consolidated knowledge of all the essentials of Latin grammar
- further developed vocabulary
- enhanced awareness of stylistic features of some Latin texts
- enhanced knowledge of Vergil’s Aeneid, of the particular book of that work studied, and of Vergil's’ language and literary methods
- knowledge of these same aspects of the chosen prose work
- further enhanced ability to study and analyse Latin texts in the original
- further enhanced skills of textual and literary analysis
