Description
A personal account of the discovery of late antiquity by one of the world's most influential historians. Peter Brown recounts his life and work, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of an age that was previously regarded as decadent and in decline. Brown's career-long engagement with late antiquity has shown that this period was crucial to the development of modern Europe and the Middle East. He describes how he and other scholars opened up the history of the classical world to a wider audience, discovering new areas of religious and cultural creativity and foundational institution-building. This book documents Brown's intellectual development and the emergence of a new field of study, including his childhood and education in Ireland, his university training in England, and extensive travels throughout the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.
