{"product_id":"poetics-of-late-latin-literature-9780199355631","title":"Poetics of Late Latin Literature","description":"The aesthetic changes in late Roman literature speak to the foundations of modern Western culture. The dawn of a modern way of being in the world, one that most Europeans and Americans would recognize as closely ancestral to their own, is to be found not in the distant antiquity of Greece nor\u003cbr\u003ein the golden age of a Roman empire that spanned the Mediterranean, but more fundamentally in the original and problematic fusion of Greco-Roman culture with a new and unexpected foreign element-the arrival of Christianity as an exclusive state religion. For a host of reasons, traditionalist\u003cbr\u003escholarship has failed to give a full and positive account of the formal, aesthetic and religious transformations of ancient poetics in Late Antiquity. \u003cem\u003eThe Poetics of Late Latin Literature\u003c\/em\u003e attempts to capture the excitement and vibrancy of the living ancient tradition reinventing itself in a new\u003cbr\u003econtext in the hands of a series of great Latin writers mainly from the fourth and fifth centuries AD. A series of the most distinguished expert voices in later Latin poetry as well as some of the most exciting new scholars have been specially commissioned to write new papers for this volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaś Elsner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199355631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaś Elsner\u003c\/strong\u003e is Humfrey Payne Senior Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Visiting Professor of Art and Religion at the University of Chicago and Leverhulme Senior Research Keeper in the Empires of Faith project at the British Museum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJesús Hernández Lobato\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Lecturer in Latin Language and Literature at the University of Salamanca, Spain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39934207000691,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_d8d6784e-f993-4003-ac35-e5658b935cc1.jpg?v=1647877685","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/poetics-of-late-latin-literature-9780199355631","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
