Greek rhetoric, in its diverse forms and impact on its contemporary context, is central to an understanding of ancient culture. The influence and exploitation of rhetoric in ancient times and modern reactions to it are the focus of this book. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the study of Greek rhetoric and oratory, informed by modern political sociology and discourse analysis. This book, bringing together the work of leading scholars in the field, examines the relation of ancient oratory and rhetoric to a variety of historical contexts and literary genres at both the theoritical and practical levels, at the same time reflecting new trends and ideas now at work; 8.3 X 5.5 X 0.8 inches; 292 pages

Gift inscription from author to R. E. Fantham on ffep. Else book is fine. ; Cicero in Letters is a guide to the first extensive correspondence that survives from the Greco-Roman world. The more than eight hundred letters of Cicero that are its core provided literary models for subsequent letter writers from Pliny to Petrarch to Samuel Johnson and beyond. The collection also includes some one hundred letters by Cicero's contemporaries. The letters they exchanged provide unique insight into the experience of the Roman political class at the turning point between Republican and imperial rule. The first part of this study analyzes effects of the milieu in which the letters were written. The lack of an organized postal system limited the correspondence that Cicero and his contemporaries could conduct and influenced what they were willing to write about. Their chief motive for exchanging letters was to protect political relationships until they could resume their customary, face-to-face association in Rome. Romans did not normally sign letters, much less write them in their own hand. Their correspondence was handled by agents who drafted, expedited, and interpreted it. Yet every letter advertised the level of intimacy that bound the writer and the addressee. Finally, the published letters were not drawn at random from the archives that Cicero left. An editor selected and arranged them in order to impress on readers a particular view of Cicero as a public personality. The second half of the book explores the significance of leading themes in the letters. It shows how, in a time of deepening crisis, Cicero and his correspondents drew on their knowledge of literature, the habit of consultation, and the rhetoric of government in an effort to improve cooperation and to maintain the political culture which they shared. The result is a revealing look at Cicero's epistolary practices and also the world of elite social intercourse in the late Republic. ; 256 pages; Signed by Author

Gutes Ex.; Umschlag leicht berieben; geringfügig "schiefgelesen"; Seiten minimal nachgedunkelt. - EA. - Über die letzten Lebensjahre Kurt Tucholskys weiß man bisher nicht allzuviel; für die Zeit nach 1931 fehlen genauere und kontinuierliche biographische Angaben. Die 1962 zum erstenmal gedruckten Briefe an den Schriftstellerfreund Walter Hasenclever und an den Bruder Fritz, die vor allem über Tucholskys politische Ansichten im letzten Lebens Jahrfünft Aufschluß geben, sind wichtige Mosaiksteine zur Autobiographie. Die "Briefe an Nuuna" ergänzen und vertiefen unser Wissen. Aus ihnen tritt uns die Gedankenwelt des geistig Vereinsamenden im fremden Sprachgebiet entgegen; sie berichten von Mühsal, schildern Nöte und Hoffnungen des Staatenlosen und Sorgen und Kämpfe des in seiner Krankheit zu lang Verkannten; sie geben Einblick in Umwelt, Alltag und Lebensumstände. Daneben finden sich engagierte politische Analysen wie etwa die vernichtende Abrechnung mit der Appeasement-Politik der westlichen Demokratien oder dem Kommunismus Stalinscher Prägung; Betrachtungen zu Büchern und Autoren, Schilderung von Land und Leuten, bissig manchmal, oft voll scharfsinnigen Humors und wohlgezielter Pointen: Vieles ist bester Tucholsky. Die Briefe gingen nach Zürich - als Absenderort auf T.s späten Briefen längst bekannt. Dort in der Florhofgasse 1, unweit von Kunst- und Schauspielhaus, wohnte Dr. Hedwig Müller, Ärztin für innere Medizin und Kin-derkrankheiten und Gesellschaftsärztin bei der Schweizerischen Lebensversicherungs- und Rentenanstalt. Als Assistentin von Professor Pirquet in Wien hatte sie sich mit der anfangs der zwanziger Jahre noch als verwegen geltenden Freilufttherapie bei Kindern vertraut gemacht. … (Vorwort) / INHALT : Einleitung ----- Briefe ----- Editorische Bemerkungen ----- Namenregister.
