Ashley Croft

Is preparing a dissertation on the subject of Sidonius' letters at the University of Birmingham (UK) to obtain a B.A. (Hons.) degree in Ancient and Medieval History.
The dissertation's main contention is that Sidonius aimed to create an idealised image of aristocratic and Christian virtues, and accomplished this largely through the use of epistolographic rhetoric. It looks at the collection as an edited and re-written piece of work, not as a collation of individual letters to individual correspondents. It argues that Sidonius aimed to do this as the collection was intended for publication, and it would thus serve as an exhortation to maintain those enshrined values.
