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. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v27. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aChristian poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian saints$zItaly$zNola$xCorrespondence 606 $aChristian saints$zItaly$zNola$xBiography 606 $aPoets, Latin$zItaly$zNola$xCorrespondence 606 $aPoets, Latin$zItaly$zNola$xBiography 606 $aChristianity and literature$zRome 606 $aChristian poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism$yTo 1500$zNola$zItaly$vCorrespondence 606 $aChristian saints$xHomes and haunts$zItaly$zNola$vBiography 606 $aChristian saints$xHistory$zItaly$zNola$vCorrespondence 606 $aPoets, Latin$zItaly$vBiography 606 $aLetter writing, Latin$zRome 606 $aPoets, Latin 606 $aChristianity and literature 607 $aNola (Italy)$xIntellectual life 615 0$aChristian poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian saints$xCorrespondence. 615 0$aChristian saints$xBiography. 615 0$aPoets, Latin$xCorrespondence. 615 0$aPoets, Latin$xBiography. 615 0$aChristianity and literature 615 0$aChristian poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChristian saints$xHomes and haunts 615 0$aChristian saints$xHistory 615 0$aPoets, Latin 615 0$aLetter writing, Latin 615 0$aPoets, Latin 615 0$aChristianity and literature 676 $a871/.1 700 $aTrout$b Dennis E.$f1953-$01002466 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bNyNyACL 801 1$bNyNyACL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248216403316 996 $aPaulinus of Nola$92300855 997 $aUNISA
