Description This paper discusses the notions of anxiety, continuity, and rupture as they framed modern understanding of the concept of "long Late Antiquity". Focusing on the idea of fragmentation as one of the hallmarks of the reception of the period in scholarly as well as literary discourse of the 19th and 20th centuries, the authors address the epistemological issue of the projection of (post)modern concerns onto the late antique past.
