Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the literary and artistic decline that occurred after the reign of Augustus in 476. The author explores the factors that contributed to the decline in Roman literature and art by taking into account the shifting political landscape, lavish lifestyles of the Roman elite, and spread of Christianity during the period. Engaging with major authors such as Virgil, Seneca, and Pliny the Younger, the book highlights the stylistic changes in literature away from Ciceronian purity and towards affectation and obscurity. It establishes how the decline in artistic patronage resulted in a shift towards spectacle and entertainment rather than works that celebrated Roman military might and glorified emperors. The work concludes by showing how the decline of the Roman Empire led to a fragmentation of literary and artistic patronage that set the stage for the Middle Ages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
