Synopsis
This book provides an in-depth analysis of Latin grammar as used by early and classical Roman writers, in particular the use of cases, from the earliest texts to the period of Cicero. The author argues that the use of cases, rather than prepositions, was a defining feature of early Latin and that this use changed significantly over time. This grammatical shift is examined through a close analysis of numerous examples of case usage by early Roman writers from Cato to Terence, and the author convincingly demonstrates that the use of cases in Latin changed over time alongside the influence of Greek grammar on the language. This book thus provides valuable insights into the development of Latin grammar as a whole and the ways grammatical construction evolved alongside literary practices.
