"Shifting Genres in Late Antiquity examines the transformations that took place in
a wide range of genres, both literary and non-literary, in this dynamic period. The
Christianisation of the Roman empire and the successor kingdoms had a profound impact
on the evolution of Greek and Roman literature, and many aspects of this are discussed
in this volume--the composition of church history, the collection of papal letters,
heresiology, homiletics and apologetic. Contributors discuss authors such as John
Chrysostom, Ambrose of Milan, Cassiodorus, Jerome, Liberatus of Carthage, Victor of
Vita, and Epiphanius of Salamis as well as the Collectio Avellana. Secular literature
too, however, underwent important changes, notably in Constantinople in the sixth
century. Several chapters accordingly reassess the work of Procopius of Caesarea and
literature of this period; attention is also given to the evolution of the chronicle
genre. Technical writing, such as military manuals and legal texts, are the focus
of other chapters; further genres considered include monody, epigraphy and epistolography.
Changes in visual representation are also considered in chapters devoted to diptychs,
monuments and coins"--Provided by publisher
