Dennis Trout considers all the ancient materials and modern commentary on Paulinus, and also delves into archaeological and historical sources to illuminate the various settings in which we see this late ancient man at work. This vivid historical biography traces Paulinus's intellectual and spiritual journey and at the same time explores many facets of the late ancient Roman world. In addition to filling out the details of Paulinus's life at Nola, Trout looks in depth at Paulinus before his ascetic conversion, providing a new assessment of this formative period to better understand Paulinus's subsequent importance within the influential ascetic and ecclesiastical circles of his age. Trout also highlights Paulinus's place in the swirl of rebellions and heresies of the time, in the pagan revival of the 390s, and especially in the development of a new genre of Christian poetry. And, he examines anew Paulinus's relationships with such figures as Jerome, Rufinus, and Augustine. Trout fully explores the complexity of a figure who has too often been simplified and provides new insights into the kaleidoscopic character of the age in which he lived.Transformation of the classical heritage ;27.ACLS Humanities E-Book.Christian poetry, LatinHistory and criticismChristian saintsItalyNolaCorrespondenceChristian saintsItalyNolaBiographyPoets, LatinItalyNolaCorrespondencePoets, LatinItalyNolaBiographyChristianity and literatureRomeChristian poetry, LatinHistory and criticismTo 1500NolaItalyCorrespondenceChristian saintsHomes and hauntsItalyNolaBiographyChristian saintsHistoryItalyNolaCorrespondencePoets, LatinItalyBiographyLetter writing, LatinRomePoets, LatinChristianity and literatureNola (Italy)Intellectual lifeChristian poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.Christian saintsCorrespondence.Christian saintsBiography.Poets, LatinCorrespondence.Poets, LatinBiography.Christianity and literatureChristian poetry, LatinHistory and criticismChristian saintsHomes and hauntsChristian saintsHistoryPoets, LatinLetter writing, LatinPoets, LatinChristianity and literature871/.1Trout Dennis E.1953-1002466American Council of Learned Societies.NyNyACLNyNyACLBOOK996248216403316Paulinus of Nola2300855UNISA
