“Adams’ Law” And The Placement Of Esse In Pliny The Younger, Thomas Keeline
“Adams’ Law” And The Placement Of Esse In Pliny The Younger, Thomas Keeline
New England Classical Journal
J. N. Adams showed that in Latin of the first century BCE, the verb esse does not necessarily gravitate to “second position” within a phrase; i.e., its placement is not in line with Jacob Wackernagel’s “law of enclitics.” Instead, esse tends to cliticize on—immediately follow—the focus of the phrase. By examining all instances of forms of esse in Plin. Ep. 1 and 10, I show that Adams’ observation still holds true ca. 100 CE. In a pedagogical epilogue, I offer some thoughts on the implications of such subtleties for the teaching and learning of Latin today.
De Sallustio Latine Praelegendo: Causae, Rationes Et Consilia Docendi, Jorge Tárrega Garrido
De Sallustio Latine Praelegendo: Causae, Rationes Et Consilia Docendi, Jorge Tárrega Garrido
New England Classical Journal
Multae sunt viae, multi modi quibus utentes possumus auctores rimari eosque discipulis nostris in scholis monstrare et aperire. Describuntur hac in symbola rationes Sallustii in Vniversitatibus studiorum praelegendi, subsidia didascalica ac exercitia varia, quae omnia sunt usu et tractatione coram discipulis a nobis probata. Praeterea significantur causae cur multum iuvet linguam Latinam per loquelam ipsam Latinam docere, et quae beneficia ex his rationibus capiant discipuli qui sermonis rudimenta iamdudum perdidicerunt atque se auctoribus legendis et excutiendis dederunt. Referuntur postremo et exempla probationum et summa percontationis, ad quam, cursu academico peracto, harum rationum non amplius expertes discipuli responderunt.

Putting On A Fronto: Persona And Patterns Of Language In Fronto’S Correspondence, Peter G. Barrios-Lech
Putting On A Fronto: Persona And Patterns Of Language In Fronto’S Correspondence, Peter G. Barrios-Lech
New England Classical Journal
The subject of this chapter is the language of letters exchanged between Fronto and correspondents, specifically those linguistic means by which Fronto and his epistolary correspondents construct a persona and maintain and negotiate relationships. Analysis of the frequency of (Latin to Greek) code-switches, the diversity, or range of unique, address-terms, letter openings and closings used, and the type and frequency of requests show how Fronto’s relationship with Marcus Aurelius changes over time; and offer us one way to measure differences in Fronto’s epistolary relationship with the other correspondents.
On Teaching Sallust In Latin: The Why And The How, Jorge Tárrega Garrido
On Teaching Sallust In Latin: The Why And The How, Jorge Tárrega Garrido
New England Classical Journal
There exist many pedagogical methods we can use to examine, expound and explain ancient authors to our students. In this paper I propose an alternative approach to teach Sallust in an undergraduate setting, with explanatory aids, exercises, tests and quizzes. The latter result not from quick consideration, but from daily use and application in my own classes. In addition, I give reasons why it is helpful to teach Latin in Latin and what advantages it has for students who have learned well the grammar and have moved on to reading and analysis of the ancient texts. Students who had had …

‘Conserere Sapientiam’, To Engage In Wisdom: The Rhetoric Of Philosophical Debate And The Speech Of Caecilius In Minucius Felix’S Octavius, Evan Rw Dutmer
‘Conserere Sapientiam’, To Engage In Wisdom: The Rhetoric Of Philosophical Debate And The Speech Of Caecilius In Minucius Felix’S Octavius, Evan Rw Dutmer
New England Classical Journal
Here I will elucidate both the rhetorical and philosophical significance of the introduction to Minucius Felix’s Octavius—in effect, to give voice to what Minucius Felix hoped to do in having Caecilius and Octavius conserere sapientiam (‘engage in wisdom’). I draw special attention to the introduction to the dialogue because (i) Minucius’ rhetorical care in establishing an appropriate otium (in other words, a locus amoenus) for his dialogue participants has been underappreciated (ii) because Caecilius’ arguments have, in general, been given short-shrift, and, (iii) because the view that the introductory parts should, instead, be read with suspicion has found a recent …
Localizing Early Epic Material In Pindar’S Sicilian Odes: Epichoric Concerns And Panhellenic Fame, Vasiliki Kousoulini
Localizing Early Epic Material In Pindar’S Sicilian Odes: Epichoric Concerns And Panhellenic Fame, Vasiliki Kousoulini
New England Classical Journal
Pindar’s Sicilian odes composed for Hieron and Chromius are embellished with various mythological narratives that are also encountered in early epic material. I suggest that Pindar not only localizes - to some extent - these originally Panhellenic mythological narratives in order to embed them in the foundation narratives that he constructs for the Sicilian victors but that the poet creates a complex interplay between epichoric and Panhellenic elements within the context of the Sicilian odes. In this way, Pindar creates for Hieron and his newly-founded city a mythical past and legitimizes his right to rule before the eyes of local …

What’S With Caesar And The Third Person In The Gallic Wars?, Ruth Breindel
What’S With Caesar And The Third Person In The Gallic Wars?, Ruth Breindel
New England Classical Journal
While we say that the Gallic Wars were written by Caesar, they were really written by the scribes. The thesis of this paper is that they used the third person singular to refer to Caesar, since they were taking down dictation and would not use “I/we,” as they were not the ones who had done the action. This use of the third person is attested to in Greek authors, and Caesar obviously was pleased with how it sounded; while he had the last word on the subject, it’s the scribes who deserve the credit for style.

Full Circle: Juvenal’S Egyptians And The Return Of The “Angry White Man” In Satire 15, Nancy Shumate
Full Circle: Juvenal’S Egyptians And The Return Of The “Angry White Man” In Satire 15, Nancy Shumate
New England Classical Journal
Some critics have seen a softening of Juvenal’s signature anger in the later satires, while others argue, on the contrary, that the indignatio animating the earlier poems resurfaces toward the end of the corpus. This paper supports the second position by comparing the characterization of speakers in the first six satires and in the fifteenth. In spite of its different setting and quasi-philosophical trappings, the (virtually) last poem’s speaker emerges as a variation of the same reactionary character type so fully drawn in the first two books. The Satires are thus framed by prototypes of the grievance-driven “angry white man” …

In Search Of Helen Maria Chesnutt (1880-1969), Black Latinist, Michele Valerie Ronnick
In Search Of Helen Maria Chesnutt (1880-1969), Black Latinist, Michele Valerie Ronnick
New England Classical Journal
Classical scholars have begun to delineate the dynamic pattern of black classicism. This new subfield of the classical tradition involves the analysis of the creative response to classical antiquity by artists as well as the history of the professional training in classics of scholars, teachers and students in high schools, colleges and universities. To the first group belongs Helen Maria Chesnutt (1880-1969). Born in Fayetteville, NC, Chesnutt was the second daughter of acclaimed African American novelist, Charles W. Chesnutt (1858-1932). She earned her B.A. from Smith College in 1902 and her M.A. in Latin from Columbia University in 1925. She …
