A partial survey and close study of the great, 'late' or 'post-classical' Latin author who, more than any other, is the bridge between Roman antiquity and the Christian middle ages. We read substantial portions of three important works -- Confessiones, De Doctrina Christiana, and De Ciuitate Dei -- in Latin, all three and some others completely in English, and some criticism and scholarship. Our goals are: (1) to solidify knowledge of essential vocabulary, morphology, and syntax; (2) to develop fluency in reading Latin, especially Latin prose; and (3) to consider from a variety of critical perspectives aesthetic and thematic questions raised by Augustine and his writing. Prerequisite: successful completion of Latin 201 or permission of instructor.
