Book Synopsis
It seeks to restore poetry to its rightful place as a crucial source for interpreting the rich cultural and intellectual life of the era.

Trade Review
This book persuasively re-evaluates Prudentius as a poet who effectively reshaped the reader's awareness of Christian self in relation to the wider Christian community... Students of Late Antiquity will find much of interest in this study of an ambitious poet. -- Charles Witke Journal of Late Antiquity 2008
