La historia de un pensador indispensable para entender la Antig edad tard a. Publicada por primera vez hace m s de medio siglo, esta biograf a se ha consolidado como el relato de referencia sobre la vida y las ense anzas de San Agust n. Es, a su vez, uno de los trabajos m s significativos del gran investigador de la Antig edad tard a Peter Brown, cuya influencia ha marcado a varias generaciones de historiadores. Si la edici n de 1967 de Agust n de Hipona supuso un acontecimiento, el descubrimiento de nuevas cartas y sermones in ditosentre los a os setenta y noventa hicieron de la reedici n de 1999, que aqu recuperamos, un ejemplo fascinante de c mo el paso de los a os afecta (o no) el trabajo historiogr fico. Una pasi n tanto personal como acad mica impregnan este aclamado retrato del obispo de Hipona, que hoy adquiere una nueva dimensi n debido a su elecci n como gu a espiritual por parte de la nueva derecha internacional liderada por Donald Trump, y tras el nombramiento del primer papa de la Orden de San Agust n, Le n XIV, en la Iglesia cat lica. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This classic biography was first published forty-five years ago and has since established itself as the standard account of Saint Augustine's life and teaching. The remarkable discovery of a considerable number of letters and sermons by Augustine cast fresh light on the first and last decades of his experience as a bishop. These circumstantial texts have led Peter Brown to reconsider some of his judgments on Augustine, both as the author of Confessions and as the elderly bishop preaching and writing in the last years of Roman rule in north Africa. Brown's reflections on the significance of these exciting new documents are contained in two chapters of a substantial Epilogue to his biography (the text of which is unaltered). He also reviews the changes in scholarship about Augustine since the 1960s. A personal as well as a scholarly fascination infuse the book-length epilogue and notes that Brown has added to his acclaimed portrait of the bishop of Hippo.

Presents a personal and thematic journey through English literature from Chaucer to the present Chapter and Verse: A Reader's History of English Literature offers a compelling reimagining of literary history—one that places the reader's experience at the heart of the narrative. Unlike traditional surveys of English literature that prioritize chronology and critical consensus, Peter Brown's approach emphasizes the subjective, evolving relationship between reader and text. This unique perspective addresses a long-standing gap in the field, emphasizing the emotional and intellectual engagements that shape how literature is received, remembered, and reinterpreted across a lifetime. Structured around thematic chapters—such as “Performance,” “Fragments,” and “Home”— Chapter and Verse spans the medieval to the contemporary, exploring Chaucer, Shakespeare, Eliot, and other canonical figures alongside neglected or overlooked authors such as Charlotte Dacre and Abdulrazak Gurnah. Each chapter blends literary analysis with personal narrative, beginning with formative reading experiences and culminating in a scholarly vantage point honed over decades of teaching. The result is both intimate and instructive, offering detailed engagements with texts and authors contextualized within broader literary movements. Uniquely integrating personal memoir with a thematic and chronological overview of English literature, Chapter and Verse: Explores literature's emotional and transformative power through lived reading experiencesReflects decades of university-level teaching across the full span of English literary historyProvides accessible entry points into complex literary periods through thematic framingIncludes notes and recommended readings at the end of each chapter to encourage further explorationOffers a fresh pedagogical approach that highlights how personal engagement can enhance critical analysis Chapter and Verse: A Reader's History of English Literature is a must-read for advanced secondary students, undergraduates, and postgraduates studying English literature, as well as general readers seeking a more personal connection to the history of English literature.

A beautifully written personal account of the discovery of late antiquity by one of the world’s most influential and distinguished historiansThe end of the ancient world was long regarded by historians as a time of decadence, decline, and fall. In his career-long engagement with this era, the widely acclaimed and pathbreaking historian Peter Brown has shown, however, that the “neglected half-millennium” now known as late antiquity was in fact crucial to the development of modern Europe and the Middle East. In Journeys of the Mind, Brown recounts his life and work, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of an age. As he and other scholars opened up the history of the classical world in its last centuries to the wider world of Eurasia and northern Africa, they discovered previously overlooked areas of religious and cultural creativity as well as foundational institution-building. A respect for diversity and outreach to the non-European world, relatively recent concerns in other fields, have been a matter of course for decades among the leading scholars of late antiquity.Documenting both his own intellectual development and the emergence of a new and influential field of study, Brown describes his childhood and education in Ireland, his university and academic training in England, and his extensive travels, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. He discusses fruitful interactions with the work of scholars and colleagues that include the British anthropologist Mary Douglas and the French theorist Michel Foucault, and offers fascinating snapshots of such far-flung places as colonial Sudan, midcentury Oxford, and prerevolutionary Iran. With Journeys of the Mind, Brown offers an essential account of the “grand endeavor” to reimagine a decisive historical moment.
