Intermediate Latin
The course is intended for those who have already taken a beginners course. There is an examination with two parts: (1) Texts for detailed study from D.A. Russell’s Anthology of Latin Prose. This will introduce a variety of prose authors of different genres and dates (there are lectures in the first term). (2) There are then two further texts, examined by translation, chosen from Cicero’s Pro Caelio, Pliny’s Letters and Ovid, Metamorphoses 8. Alternative texts of comparable length and linguistic difficulty may be approved by the Graduate Studies Committee, particularly if there is a link with another option or options taken by the candidate.
Not all courses and papers are available in every year. The authoritative information about courses and papers can be found in the University's Examination Decrees and Regulations, published with changes each October; the version published in the October a student begins a course will be authoritative for the examinations which that student takes at the end of the course.
