LATN 450 - Cicero’s Letters


Close reading and analysis of a selection of Cicero’s letters (from the more than 900 letters) to such figures as Marcus Brutus and Julius Caesar, as well as to close friends and family. Students not only focus on the broad variations in style evident throughout the corpus but also examine the personal and public politics in the tumultuous late Republic, in which Cicero himself played a leading role and for which his letters remain one of history’s most revealing testimonies.
