About this product
Product Information
Sheds light on a relatively dark period of literary history, the late third century CE, by examining how some early Christian writers tried to re-orient literature. Methodius of Olympus' dialogic Symposium exposes an era's new concerns, with its insistence that the future is more interesting than the past.

Reviews
'The standard of scholarship exhibited by this meticulously researched and elegantly written monograph is very high ... LaValle Norman's work deserves a wide readership, in the fields of both "Second Sophistic" and 'Late Antiquity' studies.' Katerina Oikonomopoulou, Journal of Early Christian Studies, '... this book is rich in sophisticated insights, and the contrastive analysis with earlier literature makes it a highly stimulating reading well beyond the immediate subject of Methodius' Symposium. The book stands as an invitation to scholars of imperial literature to look at Christian materials and to scholars of Christianity to look at non-Christian literature. The comparison with imperial literature is exceptionally fruitful and stimulating; at the same time, the author rightly indicates that future work on Methodius should further investigate the links to Christian literature ... Methodius' Symposium, with LaValle Norman's reading of it, is an important wake-up call for scholars of early Christianity and beyond.' Alberto Rigolio, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
