内容説明

A general appreciation of Latin prose literature among students has long been neglected or taken for granted. And yet the study of style and syntax of a variety of authors is essential for the writing of Latin prose. This book aims to help both tutors and students of Latin prose composition by offering a selection of over 50 short passages of text with a brief introduction to each author or piece and short notes drawing attention to linguistic and stylistic points occurring in the extracts. Full references to grammars are given and the texts are supplemented with a general introduction and grammatical and stylistic indexes. The extracts cover a wide range of writing: Cato the Censor, C.Gracchus and the annalists; Cicero (oratory, letters, philosophic treatise); the historians (Sallust, Livy, and Tacitus); non-historical prose (Seneca, Vitruvius, Pliny, Apuleius, Tertullian); and finishes with early Patristic texts and the Vulgate.

内容説明

This anthology fills a gap which has been widely felt. It gives students - at sixth-form, undergraduate or junior graduate level - the opportunity of sampling a very wide variety of Latin prose texts, chosen to illustrate both development and generic differences. Each of the 96 passages is accompanied by a short introduction, and there are brief notes explaining difficult words and drawing attention to linguistic and stylistic points occurring in the extracts. The extracts range from the second century BC to the fifth century AD: Cato the Censor, C. Gracchus, and the annalists; Cicero (oratory, letters, philosophical treatises); the historians (Sallust, Livy, and Tacitus); non-historical prose (Seneca, Vitruvius, Pliny, Apuleius, Tertullian); and finally some early Patristic texts and extracts from the Vulgate.
