Description du produit

Cameron dissects and deconstructs more than 100 years of scholarship about the transition from what we call late Roman imperial pagan culture to what is known as the triumph of Christianity. As befits a scholar whose work in this area since 1964 includes countless articles and reviews and six books, the weighing of ancient evidence and modern scholarly opinion in The Last Pagans is meticulous. (Tom Palaima, Times Higher Education )

The Last Pagans of Rome is a book of a generation. A model of erudition and integrity of argument, it is also a book that will be with us for many generations to come. (Peter Brown, New York Review of Books )

This impressive book is a masterpiece, result of decades of research in the field of Late Antique Literature and History. Alan Cameron provides a sharp and stimulating reassessment of common assumptions about the confrontation between pagans and Christians in Late Antiquity. (Aude Busine, Bryn Mawr Classical Review )

Alan Cameron's brilliant and persuasive account offers an alternative view of a cultured aristocracy. (Christopher Kelly, Times Literary Supplement )
