Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond

Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond by Michle Lowrie

Representations of civil war in classical and Christian Latin and their reception in French literature reveal the formative influence of the Roman civil wars on the modern imagination. Optimistic solutions defer resolution beyond the end of history. Within history, a decadent empire resolves republican discord at a terrible price.
