Book excerpt: Converting Verse provides a fresh account of the ways Christian poets in the late Roman world-especially those in the outlying provinces of Gaul-reinvented Latin poetry's purpose and power during the turbulent fifth century, a period that witnessed barbarian incursions, the rise of monasticism, and the collapse of the Western Roman Empire itself.
