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, 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.
