Understanding Latin Literature is a highly accessible,
user-friendly work that provides a fresh and illuminating
introduction to the most important aspects of Latin prose and
poetry. This second edition is heavily revised to reflect recent
developments in scholarship, especially in the area of the later
reception and reverberations of Latin literature. Chapters are
dedicated to Latin writers such as Virgil and Livy and explore how
literature related to Roman identity and society. Readers are
stimulated and inspired to do their own further reading through
engagement with a wide selection of translated extracts and through
understanding the different ways in which they can be approached.
Central throughout is the theme of the fundamental connections
between Latin literature and issues of elite Roman culture. The
versatile and accessible structure of Understanding Latin
Literature makes it suitable for both individual and class use.
