Description
This anthology is designed to meet the needs of Latin students today, acknowledging present constraints on their study-time. It adopts an approach that aims to enable students to read Latin reasonably quickly.
Generous assistance with vocabulary and explanatory notes are provided next to the Latin text, helping students understand the meaning of difficult sentences and phrases. The authors' modern grammar book is also referenced for further guidance.
The extracts in this anthology come from Cicero's speeches, letters, and philosophical writings, illustrating his mastery of styles and providing an interesting contemporary view of a highly significant phase of Roman history. Historical background notes and 'Points for Discussion' highlight stylistic features and the relevance of Cicero's thinking on moral and social issues to modern times.
