Latin Literature of the Fourth Century
Latin Literature of the Fourth Century
Among the writers examined are Ausonius, the poet, Imperial official and tutor to Gratian; Claudian, the last major `classical' poet; Prudentius, and Paulinus of Nola, two of the founders of Christian Latin poetry; Symmachus, the letter writer and supporter of die-hard paganism; and St. Augustine, whose influence on Christian thought and the Middle Ages is incalculable. 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.
