*Publisher, or author, created literature
All other literature found in the Cambridge Latin Course, from Stages 1 through 40, the model sentences and readings that comprise the story-line of the book are publisher, or author, created with the purpose being a gradual introduction of grammar, vocabulary and culture through this literature, with all interwoven into the fabric of each segment. As you can see from the chart, aspects of ancient literature, both adapted and unadapted, were blended in with the story until Stage 40. At this point, the story line of the series ends, and the works of the ancient authors take its place. The original authors of the course were classicists who created a compelling story that also served the purpose of informing the readers about the culture of the time, at the same time that they were assimilating the vocabulary and structure of the language. Combined with the cultural notes in English, this has given those who study with the course the history and background on arts, government and daily life that they need for an appreciation of Latin language and the times in which it was spoken.
