| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2697 What if your, emails, tweets, or blog posts were examined by scholars thousands of years in the future? What would they find? In this course, we will examine just such a case: the 914 personal letters written by Marcus Tullius Cicero that were preserved after his death by an unknown editor. We will read a selection of these letters, as well as letters from later periods that took their inspiration from Ciceros. In doing so, we will also see how other scholars have understood these documents: as literature, a historical archive, or even as confessions.; Prerequisite(s): Two semesters of 100-level Latin, or instructor consent Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (Hav: HU, A) |
