This title was first published in 2001. These collected essays by
Patricia Cox Miller identify new possibilities of meaning in the
study of religion in late antiquity. The book addresses the topic
of the imaginative mindset of late ancient authors from a variety
of Greco-Roman religious traditions. Attending to the play of
language, as well as to the late ancient sensitivity to image,
metaphor, and paradox, Cox Miller's work highlights the poetizing
sensibility that marked many of the texts of this period and draws
on methods of interpretation from a variety of contemporary
literary-critical theories. This book will appeal to scholars of
late antiquity, religious literature, and literary critical theory
more widely, illustrating how fruitful dialogue across the
centuries can be - not only in eliciting aspects of late ancient
texts that have gone unnoticed but also in showing that many
'modern' ideas, such as Roland Barthes', were actually already
alive and well in ancient texts.
