Ambrose, the first patrician bishop and a prolific writer of a broad range of works, presents numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary research. His participation in many social groups, sometimes at odds with each other, and sometimes overlapping, demanded flexibility. The result is a protean figure, whose motives are not always clear. His own works and those of the scholars who contribute to this volume are accordingly multidisciplinary. Fields such as theology (especially historical theology), history, classics, philosophy, linguistics, and aesthetics, among others, and the recent international research that belongs to them nuance the volume's investigation of Ambrose's actions and motivations. The reader will find that Ambrose's efforts to create and to strengthen social cohesion included building relationships and erecting social structures set on the foundations of Nicaean Christianity against heresy and paganism. A fusion of Graeco-Roman and Judeo-Christian intellectual traditions reinforced the solidarity Ambrose promoted. These endeavors met with success then, and continue to do so now, as indicated by the modern community of scholars found within this book.

Revealing the mind-set of a soldier seared by the horrors of combat even as he kept faith in his cause, Last to Leave the Field showcases the private letters of Ambrose Henry Hayward, a Massachusetts native who served in the 28th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.Hayward's service, which began with his enlistment in the summer of 1861 and ended three years later following his mortal wounding at the Battle of Pine Knob in Georgia, took him through a variety of campaigns in both the Eastern and Western theaters of the war. He saw action in five states, participating in the b

War destroys, but it also inspires, stimulates, and creates. It is, in this way, a muse, and a powerful one at that. The American Civil War was a particularly prolific muse--unleashing with its violent realities a torrent of language, from soldiers' intimate letters and diaries to everyday newspaper accounts, great speeches, and enduring literary works. In Belligerent Muse, Stephen Cushman considers the Civil War writings of five of the most significant and best known narrators of the conflict: Abraham Lincoln, Walt Whitman, William Tecumseh Sherman, Ambrose Bierce, and Joshua Lawrence Chamber

Le but de cette étude est de s’interroger sur la liberté de l’individu dans sa famille à la fin du ive siècle, quand l’église triomphante a pu influencer les moeurs et les lois, par l’action notamment d’un personnage puissant et actif tel qu’Ambroise, évêque de Milan. La nouvelle religion change-t-elle quelque chose à la vie quotidienne des hommes et des femmes du Bas-Empire ? L’ouvrage observe les permanences avec l’ancienne société mais aussi les mutations amenées par l’ordre nouveau à différents moments cruciaux de la vie des familles. C’est tout d’abord l’étape importante du mariage : quand, comment et avec qui se marier ? Les questions religieuses, économiques et militaires de l’époque viennent interférer dans la nouvelle législation. Autre temps familial délicat : l’heure des conflits, entre les époux, entre parents et enfants, entre frères et soeurs. On se déchire pour une infidélité conjugale, pour des questions d’argent, de succession, de religion… Les solutions romaines traditionnelles de résolution des conflits sont tantôt approuvées, tantôt dénoncées par le clergé. L’auteur tente d’éclaircir ce que doit alors être la conduite chrétienne voulue par l’église et d’établir quelles sont les marges de la liberté qui reste à l’individu, souvent pris en tenailles entre des volontés parfois : l’empereur et Dieu, ou le père et le Père.

"Sharon Talley draws on psychoanalytic theory to illuminate the connections between Bierce's life and works, without ever losing sight of the historical contexts-especially his experience in the Civil War-that also shaped his creativity. This judicious and comprehensive book will give a major boost to the reassessment of Bierce's place in American letters."-Peter L.

In this new and illuminating interpretation of Ambrose, bishop of Milan from 374 to 397, Neil McLynn thoroughly sifts the evidence surrounding this very difficult personality. The result is a richly detailed interpretation of Ambrose's actions and writings that penetrates the bishop's painstaking presentation of self. McLynn succeeds in revealing Ambrose's manipulation of events without making him too Machiavellian. Having synthesized the vast complex of scholarship available on the late fourth century, McLynn also presents an impressive study of the politics and history of the Christian church and the Roman Empire in that period.Admirably and logically organized, the book traces the chronology of Ambrose's public activity and reconstructs important events in the fourth century. McLynn's zesty, lucid prose gives the reader a clear understanding of the complexities of Ambrose's life and career and of late Roman government.
