Course Description: During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, substantial contributions were made to long-form fiction in Latin in genres ranging from speculative fiction and romance to the picaresque novel and political diatribe. This course will read sections from three of the most important contributions made during this period: Ludvig Holberg's Iter Subterraneum (1741), often hailed as the first full-length science-fiction novel; John Barclay's Argenis (1621), a work that blends adventure tale, mystery story, and political commentary; and Giovanni Vittorio Rossi's Eudemiae (1645), a spirited and pacy work reflective of the Rome of the Barberini papacy in which Rossi worked.
