Classics Renewed of Late Antiquity riginally delivered at a bi-coastal conference on Late Latin poetry held in 2011 at Rice University and at Brown University, these essays explore some Classics of the defi ning traits of the Late Latin poetic tradi- tion, offering a sense of how Late Latin poetry was both conservative and innovative: its authors were grounded in the past, yet willing to take established Renewed models in new directions and to produce fresh forms Latin panegyric in a contemporary literary milieu. More than this, rtunatus these essays present fresh interpretive perspectives Venantius Fo ntertextuality that accept the differences between Late Latin poets and their classical predecessors and develop new critical approaches that respond to those differences. In the process, they arrive at a novel understanding of lyric a large group of Late Latin poets and their texts and Endelechius suggest some of the ways in which readers can prof- Claudian itably engage the new forms, content, and concerns us Maximianus ususus an that mark the Latin poetry of Late Antiquity.

No longer seen merely as the conti- nuation of “classical” antiquity, epigonal age or first phase of the medieval, late antiquity is understood as having its own characteristic traits, which have to be analyzed as such. Currently, a comprehensive re-engagement with Late Antiquity is taking place, promoting a shift in its evaluation as well as a variety of disciplinary approaches. The profile of Late Antiquity that is emerging is diverse, complex and problematic, as it combines cultural pluralism with a stubborn dedication to tradition. It is at this moment in the history of late-antique studies that this series intervenes. Although for terminological reasons the term ‘Late Antiquity’ cannot currently be avoided, The Other Antiquity aims to contribute to a more independent conceptualization of the epoch. The series thus under- stands itself as provocation and stimulus for a discussion of Late Antiquity which will open up new approaches in the areas of Classical Philology and literary studies, and simultaneously put the fascination and charm of Late Antiquity on display for other disciplines as well. This series has three major focuses: (mainly Latin) late-antique textuality, its reception in later ages in Western culture (including visual and material aspects), and Late Antiquity as a paradigm for the construction of other Western “decadences”. The Other Antiquity will open up the field to a broader cultural discus- sion, not least with a view to postmodern reassessments, and will offer a basis for the interpretation of texts of widely varying origin and genre. It will serve as a forum for discussing these texts in an interdisciplinary fashion, for pursuing alternative paths in research and for departing from the traditional approaches of Classical Philology.
