Abstract 520    $aThis volume presents a broad review of late antique literature. The late antique period encompasses a significant transitional era in literary history from the mid-third century to the early seventh century. The volume covers notable Greek and Latin texts of the period and provides a varied overview of literature written in six other late antique languages. It explores the histories, forms, features, audiences, and uses of the literature of the period.
