(syllabus)
I. Introduction to Latin Literature; II. Catullus' Poetry
The course is divided in two parts: the first (16 hours) includes a wide introduction to Latin literature, focused on key elements for the discipline's study (literary genres; models; intertextuality; historical and literary contexts; themes; linguistic and stylistic codes; conservation and loss of texts; survivor); the second (32 hours) will be occupied by a monographic analysis of Catullus' poetry: after an introduction on the Latin poet and on the historical and cultural context of late republic, there will be an in-depth examination of Catullus' poetry, which plays a pivotal role in the 'neoteric revolution'. Some important poems will be read and commented, taking into account themes, forms, language and style, models and influence.
