Invective, Slander, and Insult in Latin Literature
This course aims to build skills in reading literary Latin in a variety of genres, both poetry and prose, while introducing students to an important social function shared by many types of texts: winning status and prestige by slandering a rival. The substance of this invective--the kind of insult that wins over an audience--can also tell us much about Roman values in various realms of public and personal behavior. Prerequisite: LAT 108 or instructor's permission. Seminar.

Pliny the Elder and Encyclopedic History
Pliny the Elder went from an aristocratic life terminated by volcanic fumes to an afterlife of eponymous inspiration for Irish Pale Ales. His greatest claim to fame, however, is the encyclopedic Natural History, in thirty-seven books. In this course, we will read selections from the NH, and assess the text's significance for the study of Latin literature and Roman culture; art history; botany and zoology; the history of medicine; and the history of race and racism. We will also debate whether it makes (historical or ethical) sense to credit Pliny with authorship of a work that drew on staggering amounts of anonymized slave labor.
