Late Antiquity is often assumed to have witnessed the demise of
literature as a social force and its retreat into the school and
the private reading room: whereas the sophists of the Second
Sophistic were influential social players, their late antique
counterparts are thought to have been overshadowed by bishops.
Literature and Society in the Fourth Century AD argues that this
presumed difference should be attributed less to a fundamental
change in the role of literature than to different scholarly
methodologies with which Greek and Latin texts from the second and
the fourth century are being studied. Focusing on performance, the
literary construction of reality and self-presentation, this volume
highlights how literature continued to play an important role in
fourth-century elite society.
