Karl Purgold’s groundbreaking study of two major figures of Late Antiquity--Claudian and Sidonius--provides fresh insights into the literary and cultural history of the period. Drawing on a wealth of archaeological and textual evidence, Purgold sheds light on the ways in which these two writers engaged with the broader sociocultural currents of their time, and offers a compelling new interpretation of their legacies.
