Ancient Texts and their Interpretation (CLAM077)

15 credits

Greece and Rome were literary cultures. They privileged, examined, questioned, and parodied a remarkably diverse and sophisticated range of literary outputs. This module aims to extend and enhance your previous study of ancient literature, further developing your skills in literary criticism. It entails the close analysis and interpretation of ancient texts in translation, chosen to reflect the specialisms and expertise of academic staff. Alongside developing your analytical skills, you will be introduced to a range of different critical approaches, concepts and theories and you will be guided in your application of these to your own interpretations.
