Résumé:
471 : Sidoine Apollinaire est élu évêque des Arvernes. Que vient faire ce sénateur, ancien préfet de Rome, à la tête de la cité arverne ? L’homme vient se mettre au service de la résistance au roi wisigoth Euric, qui cherche à s’emparer de la ville. Malgré son énergie, son entregent et ses talents de propagandiste, Sidoine Apollinaire échoue. Après un très court exil, il rentre à Clermont pour reprendre sa pastorale. Pendant des siècles, les Clermontois ne se souviennent que du saint. Seuls le combat contre les fascismes des années noires et la découverte à Clermont-Ferrand, dans les années 1980/1990, des fragments de l’épitaphe d’un Apollinaire ont réveillé le souvenir de l’évêque combattant.

Now out in e-book: Joshua Hartman and Helen Kaufmann (eds), A Late Antique Poetics? The Jeweled Style Revisited, Bloomsbury Academic (hardback available 13 July).
‘The poetry of the late Roman world has a fascinating history. Sometimes an object of derision, sometimes an object of admiration, it has found numerous detractors and defenders among classicists and Latin literary critics. This volume explores the scholarly approaches to late Latin poetry that have developed over the last 40 years, and it seeks especially to develop, complement and challenge the seminal concept of the ‘Jeweled Style’ proposed by Michael Roberts in 1989. While Roberts’s monograph has long been a vade mecum within the world of late antique literary studies, a critical reassessment of its validity as a concept is overdue.
This volume invites established and emerging scholars from different research traditions to return to the influential conclusions put forward by Roberts. It asks them to examine the continued relevance of The Jeweled Style and to suggest new ways to engage it. In a joint effort, the nineteen chapters of this volume define and map the jeweled style, extending it to new genres, geographic regions, time periods and methodologies. Each contribution seeks to provide insightful analysis that integrates the last 30 years of scholarship while pursuing ambitious applications of the jeweled style within and beyond the world of late antiquity.’
