{"product_id":"classicism-and-christianity-in-late-philip-hardie-9780520295773","title":"Classicism and Christianity in Late Antique Latin Poetry: Volume 74","description":"After centuries of near silence, Latin poetry underwent a renaissance in the late fourth and fifth centuries CE evidenced in the works of key figures such as Ausonius, Claudian, Prudentius, and Paulinus of Nola. This period of resurgence marked a milestone in the reception of the classics of late Republican and early imperial poetry. In \u003ci\u003eClassicism and Christianity in Late Antique Latin Poetry, \u003c\/i\u003e Philip Hardie explores the ways in which poets writing on non-Christian and Christian subjects used the classical traditions of Latin poetry to construct their relationship with Rome's imperial past and present, and with the by now not-so-new belief system of the state religion, Christianity. The book pays particular attention to the themes of concord and discord, the \"cosmic sense\" of late antiquity, novelty and \u003ci\u003erenouatio\u003c\/i\u003e, paradox and miracle, and allegory. It is also a contribution to the ongoing discussion of whether there is an identifiably late antique poetics and a late antique practice of intertextuality. Not since Michael Robert's classic \u003ci\u003eThe Jeweled Style\u003c\/i\u003e has a single book had so much to teach about the enduring power of Latin poetry in late antiquity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Hardie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520295773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520295773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Philip Hardie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946703061247,"sku":"9780520295773","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b7314ad8-f54a-45ff-a439-3ddc1d8d3ff9.jpg?v=1681514650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classicism-and-christianity-in-late-philip-hardie-9780520295773","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
