Description

The Cambridge History of Later Latin Literature offers the first comprehensive treatment of Latin literature spanning the second to seventh centuries, a period often overlooked as merely epilogue to Classical times. This landmark volume features fifty chapters by forty-one leading scholars examining the immensely diverse literary output of six centuries that produced towering figures including Apuleius, Claudian, Prudentius, Augustine, Jerome, Boethius, and Isidore. The book demonstrates how authors of this era responded to momentous historical changes, including the rise of Christianity, reshaping and sometimes resisting the transformation of their world. Rather than treating Later Latin literature as secondary, this Cambridge University Press publication gives generous, detailed attention to the complexity and significance of this formative period in literary history.

Key Features
