CLAS 301B central themes, tensions & concepts:

literature & society

private (introspection, personal identity & expression) vs. public life (duty & status)

gender & power

freedom & slavery

imitatio & aemulatio/intertextuality (texts appropriating texts)

metapoetics, metaliterariness

city (urbanitas/Romanitas, an acquired ethos) vs. country

negotium vs. otium (is literature a productive use of time & energy?)
