Sixteen contributions by academics based primarily in England, Canada, and the U.S., including one each by editors Mathisen (history, U. of South Carolina) and Shanzer (classics, Cornell U.), discuss fifth-century Gaul under Roman control, before it became barbarian Gaul. Arrangement is in three sections on the transformation of the region from Roman to barbarian rule, including the archaeology of the Visigothic settlement in Aqutania; religion and society; and the intellectual life of the era as seen through the region's poetry and philosophy.
