CLAS-4755 prerequisites
We couldn't read this course's prerequisites into a chain. The wording is under “Requisite courses” below.
Description
The course examines translations of works by ancient tragic poets and comic poets. These are of interest in their own right but also for their extraordinary influence on drama (and other cultural products) in later European societies and elsewhere, especially across the globe today. Students are encouraged to consider both the plays and their reception by later writers (or artists, compeers, etc.). Students at the advanced level work closely with challenging and fragmentary sources and their scholarly interpretation, especially sophisticated theoretical approaches. This course prepares students for philological and literary critical work at the graduate level in Classics.
