{"product_id":"after-transformation-maia-kotrosits-9781478032762","title":"After Transformation: A Lyrical History of Christian Late Antiquity","description":"In \u003ci\u003eAfter Transformation\u003c\/i\u003e, Maia Kotrosits offers a lyrical history of Christian late antiquity as it lives on in and with the present. Recasting the monumental changes that occurred between the second and fourth centuries, when Rome transitioned from pagan to Christian worship, Kotrosits presents a condensed and evocative meditation on the profound effects of Christian imperialism across time and geography. She employs a collection of forms ranging from micro-essay and vignette to poem and fragment to capture human struggles with time and change, showing how the mundane and intimate details of our lives can themselves be conduits of historical knowing. Arguing for lyricism as a method, Kotrosits reclaims vulnerability, urgency, and storytelling in historical work to model new ways of writing the past and experiencing ourselves more fully in time. Above all, \u003ci\u003eAfter Transformation\u003c\/i\u003e is about the ironies of the ways that history is written against the reality of the ways that history is lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maia Kotrosits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478032766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478032762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Maia Kotrosits","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47452709355775,"sku":"9781478032762","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11885448-b8ce-4381-8af7-a488a86a014f.jpg?v=1761930035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-transformation-maia-kotrosits-9781478032762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
