Studies in fourth and fifth century Latin literature with particular reference to Ausonius
No full textThe main theme of this work is a discussion of the literary worth ofthe works of a number of authors of the Later Roman Empire. The worksconsidered are those of Ausonius, Rutilius Namatianus, the anonymousQuerolus and, to a lesser extent, Sidonius Apollinaris. The authorswill be discussed in turn, beginning with Ausonius, the firstchronologically. His work will be examined in the light of hiscareer and of the prevailing conditions in Gaul during his lifetime.Particular attention will be paid to the use made of nature in his works,especially the Mosella. The poem by Rutilius Namatianus known as theDe reditu suo will be examined both from an historical and from aliterary viewpoint. The Querolus will be considered for its effectivenessas a piece of drama, particular attention being paid to the various kindsof humour to be found in the piece and the way in which it could have beenstaged. A dating of the play to the mid-fifth century will be suggested.The life and work of Sidonius Apollinaris will be examined in order toprovide a view of the change in the political situation in the fifthcentury and therefore in the environment for literary production. Itwill be suggested that the writers in Gaul from the fourth century onwardswere subject to influences not only from Roman literature but also fromnative traditions, the result of the Celtic Renaissance of the third century.It will be concluded, however, that despite these indisputable influencesand also their undoubted local patriotism, all the writers were basicallyRoman in outlook, still determined to preserve civilisation on a Romanbasis rather than a local one
Ausonius’ cities: perception of the urban space in fourth-century Gaul
No full textThis thesis aimed at studying fourth-century Gallic cities throught he lens of one of its most gifted poet, Ausonius. Born in 310, Ausonius was an Aquitanian nobleman who rose in the service of emperors Valentinian I and Gratian. First of all, it was demonstrated that the poet’s ideal city was heavily influenced by his traditional education and Ausonius enjoyed setting his literary characters in the décor of a classical city. However, his works also emphasised the rising image of the walled city, both as a topographic reality of his time, but also as a metonymic representation of the city. Finally, the poetry and letters of Ausonius also developed the image of a world structured by cities. Alongside Ausonius’ texts, the writings of Paulinus of Nola, his former pupil and future bishop of Nola, and of his friend Sulpicius Severus, the author of the famous Life of Saint Martin, will be used in order to emphasise the change that Christianity brought to the contemporary perception of cities

Ausonius at Night
No full textThis article examines the fourth-century c.e. Ausonius' descriptions of himself as a nocturnal poet. Interest lies in passages where Ausonius relates that he wrote at night in order to play the part of the modest, self-deprecating author. Past scholarship has generally dismissed Ausonius' modesty as insincere and empty or stopped at identifying it with the captatio benevolentiae. I will go further in exploring the rhetorical dimensions of Ausonius' theme. The examination contributes to the study of paratextuality in Latin antiquity and to our understanding of Ausonius' authorial identity, of the functions he assigns to poetry, of his methods of shaping the reception of his work, and of his literary culture
