Course description |
The course is intended to focus on a single text (or corpus of texts), in a multi-disciplinary fashion: texts will be examined from the point of view of textual and historical elucidation, and literary and theoretical criticism. The intention is that students are given exposure to a variety of critical approaches, which they can apply or respond to in their own future work in Greek literature. |
