In a conversation with Gavin Kelly, the under-representation of late antiquity in Latin literature studies is examined. Kelly, a noted Professor at the University of Edinburgh, discusses why scholars mainly concentrate on works prior to 200 AD. He argues that the period of late antiquity contains many noteworthy authors and contributions that deserve recognition. The discussion also touches upon similar trends within the study of Greek literature, urging a reevaluation of periodizations in scholarly work to fully appreciate the richness of these literary traditions.
Most scholars traditionally focus on Latin literature before 200 AD, often neglecting the rich contributions of late antiquity, which includes authors of high caliber.
Gavin Kelly highlights the importance of recognizing late antiquity in Latin literature studies, arguing that scholars should broaden their focus beyond the classical canon.
