A narrative of decline punctuated by periods of renewal has long
structured perceptions of Rome's late antique and medieval history.
In their probing contributions to this volume, a multi-disciplinary
group of scholars provides alternative approaches to understanding
the period. Addressing developments in governance, ceremony,
literature, art, music, clerical education and the construction of
the city's identity, the essays examine how a variety of actors,
from poets to popes, productively addressed the intermittent crises
and shifting dynamics of these centuries in ways that bolstered the
city's resilience. Without denying that the past (both
pre-Christian and Christian) consistently remained a powerful
touchstone, the studies in this volume offer rich new insights into
the myriad ways that Romans, between the fifth and the eleventh
centuries, creatively assimilated the past as they shaped their
future.
