ADAIR, JOHN (TEXT); CHEZE-BROWN, PETER (PHOTOGRAPHS).

The Pilgrims' Way: Shrines And Saints In Britain And Ireland.

Thames and Hudson, London: 1978. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. The roads of medieval Britain and Ireland were thronged with pilgrims, most of them going on the longest journey in their lives. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales introduce us to a band traveling to the famous shrine of St. Thomas Becket at Canterbury; others sought more humble sacred places, such as the cell of a Celtic hermit, or a holy well. This book is intended to serve as a guide to those who wish to follow in the pilgrims' footsteps, in fact or in imagination, from London to the West Country, in East Anglia and along the Roman roads through the Midlands, to Durham and beyond the hills of Wales, and finally to Scotland and across the sea to Ireland. Includes an Index.

BROWN, PETER.

Poverty And Leadership In The Later Roman Empire.

Brandeis University Press, Waltham / University Press of New England, Hanover: 2001. Softcover. Brand new book. A preeminent classical scholar on the emergence of one of our most familiar social divisions. In three magisterial essays, Peter Brown, one of the world's foremost scholars of the society and culture of late antiquity, explores the emergence in late Roman society of the poor as a distinct social class, one for which the Christian church claimed a special responsibility. It is the story of how a society came to see itself as responsible for the care of a particular class of people - a class that had not previously been cared for - and of who benefited from that shift in interests. In his characteristically elegant and lucid prose, Brown seeks to recover the pre-Christian status of poor people, the actual nature of the relations between the Christian church and the poor, and the true motivations - sometimes sincere, sometimes self-serving - behind Christian rhetoric of love for the poor. He draws not only on the standard Greek and Latin sources for the later Roman Empire, but also on Jewish sources to document the interactions between Middle Eastern provincial societies and classical Roman traditions. Brown gracefully illuminates a crucial transition from classical to Christian culture: the emergence of a new understanding of what society - and the Church - owes to the poor that continues to resonate. Peter Brown, Rollins Professor of History at Princeton University, is a leading authority on the society of late antiquity and early Christianity. He is author of Augustine of Hippo: A Biography (1967, 2000), The Rise of Western Christendom (1996), Authority and the Sacred (1995), and The Body and Society: Men, Women, and Sexual Renunciation in Early Christianity (1988). The three essays that make up Poverty and Leadership in the Later Roman Empire, originally delivered as the Menahem Stern Lecture at Jerusalem in May of 2000, are the most concerted analytic attack yet offered by any ancient historian on the problem of poverty.: New York Review of Books
