Latin Literature This volume has a triple goal: to present the history of Latin literature as a chronological development, from Livius Andronicus and his imitation of Homer's Odyssey to the Christian poets contemporary with the fall of the Roman Empire in the West; to distinguish each author's style by the use of many texts, allowing us to "hear" the Latin; to support the assertion that literature in Antiquity is ruled by the principle of imitation, and thus to show how this literature developed, taking its richness and originality from a perpetual game of intertextual reference. The Author Jean-Pierre N raudau was professor at the universities of Aix-Marseille, Reims Champagne-Ardenne, and Paris-VII successively. He wrote numerous books on Latin literature, notably poetry, and civilization.
