Latin Literature of the Fourth Century (Routledge Revivals)

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume, offering an insight into the literary world of Rome in the fourth century AD, reflects an increased interest in the writers of the 150 years before the collapse of the Western Empire, who have long been over-shadowed by the pre-eminence accorded since the eighteenth century to the Golden and Silver ages.Among the writers examined are Ausonius, Claudian, Prudentius, Paulinus of Nola, Symmachus, and St. Augustine.These essays consider how such writers responded to a world where vitality was ebbing from the old forms of political life, religion and literature, giving way to new institutions, modes of life and horizons of reflection.
