For many Latin students, the second year of study marks an exciting turning point. Having learned the basics of grammar and vocabulary, they are finally ready to encounter "real" Latin authors, usually Caesar or Cicero, for the first time. Yet these same students often grow frustrated when they realize their grasp of Latin grammar is not as solid as they would wish. This student-friendly handbook offers intermediate learners a targeted review of the essentials of Latin grammar, enabling them to read assigned texts with greater facility. The fifteen lessons in Latin Redux focus on topics that many students do not learn thoroughly in the first year, such as gerunds and gerundives, or that are sometimes omitted for lack of time, such as subordinate clauses in indirect discourse. The lessons are presented in order of difficulty, but they can be used in any order and can all be completed within a single semester. After reviewing these lessons in grammar and syntax, students will be more confident when they encounter the same structures in their readings. As the first book of its kind to supplement the curriculum of intermediate students, Latin Redux fills an important niche in Latin instruction. Classroom tested by the author, the handbook complements any Latin prose or poetry readings an instructor might select. Adding to its appeal, each chapter includes a fun "Lingua Latina Ubique" (Latin Language Everywhere) section that highlights how much Latin we use every day. The volume is further enhanced by Latin-to-English and English-to-Latin glossaries and a grammatical appendix.
Susan O. Shapiro is Assistant Professor of Classics at Utah State University.
"Susan O. Shapiro has designed an excellent textbook to reinforce the more difficult but common grammatical concepts an intermediate student will encounter. The chapters and exercises review these concepts with an efficiency and concision that make this a fitting companion for readers of Cicero, Livy, and Vergil."-Alexis M. Christensen, Associate Professor, University of Utah "Latin Redux provides exactly what students need in the intermediate Latin classroom, making this supplemental resource sure to be valued by intermediate students as they begin to explore authentic works by Roman authors."-Darryl Phillips, author of Suetonius' Life of Augustus
