Learning unit contents
The course focuses on the study of a Latin poet through the reading of texts.
The commentary will aim at the internal and comparative textual analysis of extracts or poems seen.
It will also tend to examine the contribution of Latin work to French poetry, or their acquaintances.
The reading of texts also involves the examination of significant facts in the fields of phonetics, morphology, lexicon and syntax.
Each poem is explained grammatically in class and translated, in order to constantly review the grammar of Latin on the basis of practical texts.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
A practice in the translation and in the grammatical, historic, cultural, stylistic and literary commentary of Latin authors, as well as a review of the Latin language structures.
