Literature is the artful use of language to paint images and convey emotions through a variety of techniques based on vocabulary and syntax. What better way to study this artform than by reading the master works of such literary artists as Vergil and Cicero as composed in their own tongue? Author and teacher Karen Moore will walk through exercises in literary analysis with the Latin of classical authors as well as later authors inspired by the muse of their predecessors. Target audience: teachers of Latin and Literature (grades 6-12)
