Literature and Society in the Fourth Century AD argues that this presumed difference should be attributed less to a fundamental change in the role of literature than to different scholarly methodologies with which Greek and Latin texts from the second and the fourth century are being studied. Focusing on performance, the literary construction of reality and self-presentation, this volume highlights how literature continued to play an important role in fourth-century elite society. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum ;$vVolume 373. 606 $aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society. 676 $a870.9/001 702 $aVan Hoof$b Lieve 702 $aNuffelen$b Peter van 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463361903321 996 $aLiterature and society in the fourth century AD$91322952 997 $aUNINA
