CLSS 837 01 (10330) /CPLT542 W 2.30-4.20 Fall 2009 This course takes a "thematic" approach to literary criticism in antiquity, with special emphasis on the culture(s) of criticism in the Roman world. The home base for the course is the literary-theoretical and rhetorical works of selected Roman authors, especially Cicero (Brutus, Orator), Varro, Horace, and Seneca. The larger historical picture is filled in by looking both backward to Greek sources, especially to Plato and Aristotle, and forward to Quintilian, Tacitus, Longinus, and others. Weekly discussions center on topics that arise from the theoretical pronouncements and debates of ancient writers, as well as from the actual practices (and meta-linguistic commentaries) of the poets themselves. Topics include theories of imitation in antiquity; theories of style (order, structure, metaphor, language, word choice, etc.); definitions of a "poem" and of the poet's place in society; genre theory and canon formation (especially in Rome); what grammarians do and how they structure modes of evaluation.

CLSS 840 01 (11086) /HIST508 T 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 The seminar investigates the Mediterranean states during the period ca. 400-200 B.C., that is, across the traditional "Classical/Hellenistic" historical divide. The primary states we are concerned with are the Greek city-states (both individual states and koina) and the Ptolemaic empire, although we also look from time to time at other Hellenistic kingdoms. Among our goals is to compare the public economies across this period and in different regions of the Mediterranean. Emphasis is on comparison. Our goal is to examine Greek states in transition from the point of view of their economies, political organization and political economic thought, and culture, broadly defined, as well as to assess the Greek institutional impact on new areas such as the eastern and southern Hellenistic states. Emphasis on research methods and source criticism.
