A fine addition to the Oxford Early Christian Studies series and a worthy complement to Dennis Trout's masterful 1999 biography of Paulinus ... The primary audience for this book will be scholars of early Christian thought; but especially the first two chapters may be of interest to those working on classical epistolography. As well, the final chapter will be of relevance to both classicists and medievalists with interests in the history of the subject ... One of
Conybeare's most compelling arguments in the book is her claim that we should view the letter not simply as a text but as an "historical event" — in other words, as a performative act at a particular historical moment, of which the surviving text is but a trace remain ... stimulating and suggestive ...
For scholars of late antique culture, Christian thought, and the Latin letter in general, Conybeare's study is a thought-provoking and welcome addition.
