Prudentius' Crown of Martyrs offers an English translation, with
introduction and commentary, of the Liber Peristephanon,
Prudentius' vivid collection of lyric hymns in honor of Christian
martyrs. To render Prudentius' metrically varied lines for
twenty-first-century readers, Len Krisak relies on the inherent
iambic nature of English. The introduction offers insight into
social, political, and literary features of the fourth century, the
life of Prudentius, the poet's other works, his Latinity and
mastery of ancient meters, and the manuscript tradition and the
reception of Prudentius in the Middle Ages and beyond. Given
Prudentius' central place in the history of Latin poetry, this
translation is a welcome resource for general readers interested in
Western literary history. It will also find a home with scholarly
audiences working on Late Antique and Early Christian literature
and culture, in a wide variety of college classrooms and in
academic libraries.
