Shifting genres in late antiquity

This title examines the transformations that took place in a wide range of genres, both literary and non-literary, in Late Antiquity.

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.
