In 1982 Grace McIntyre is living a bored and isolated existence as a reluctant expat in rural Western Kenya with her teacher husband, George, and their young son.

The Virgin and the Bride: Idealized Womanhood in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780674939509 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the last centuries of the Roman Empire, the prevailing ideal of feminine virtue was radically transformed: the pure but fertile heroines of Greek and Roman romance were replaced by a Christian heroine who ardently refused the marriage bed. How this new concept and figure of purity is connected with--indeed, how it abetted--social and religious change is the subject of Kate Cooper's lively book. The Romans saw marital concord as a symbol of social unity--one that was important to maintaining the vigor and political harmony of the empire itself. This is nowhere more clear than...

The Fall of the Roman Household
ISBN: 9780521187930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Edward Gibbon laid the fall of the Roman Empire at Christianity's door, suggesting that 'pusillanimous youth preferred the penance of the monastic to the dangers of a military life ... whole legions were buried in these religious sanctuaries'. This surprising study suggests that, far from seeing Christianity as the cause of the fall of the Roman Empire, we should understand the Christianisation of the household as a central Roman survival strategy. By establishing new 'ground rules' for marriage and family life, the Roman Christians of the last century of the Western empire found a way to...

The Baton Rouge Interviews: with Édouard Glissant and Alexandre Leupin
ISBN: 9781789620962 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of interviews is a diamond, remarkable in the way that it assembles so many of the major strains of Glissant’s thought, and stunning in the expansive erudition at work in the composition of that thought. Two structuring experiences inform the writer’s reflections on language and poetic engagement. On the one hand, there is the acculturation of his French intellectual ancestry, begun in the Martinican colonial system and continued in his mature student years in Paris, with the achievement of a Doctorate at the Sorbonne in 1980. On the other, there is his genetic heritage...

Religion, Dynasty, and Patronage in Early Christian Rome, 300-900
ISBN: 9780521876414 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Traces the central role played by aristocratic patronage in the transformation of the city of Rome at the end of antiquity. It moves away from privileging the administrative and institutional developments related to the rise of papal authority as the paramount theme in the city's post-classical history. Instead the focus shifts to the networks of reciprocity between patrons and their dependents. Using material culture and social theory to challenge traditional readings of the textual sources, the volume undermines the teleological picture of ecclesiastical sources such as the Liber...

Social Control in Late Antiquity: The Violence of Small Worlds
ISBN: 9781108479394 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Social Control in Late Antiquity: The Violence of Small Worlds explores the small-scale communities of late antiquity – households, monasteries, and schools – where power was a question of personal relationships. When fathers, husbands, teachers, abbots, and slave-owners asserted their own will, they saw themselves as maintaining the social order, and expected law and government to reinforce their rule. Naturally, the members of these communities had their own ideas, and teaching them to 'obey their betters' was not always a straightforward business. Drawing on a wide variety of sources...
