200638317Oxford University Press. 2006. Hardcover. Near Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Digitally reprinted; 364 pages; The Roman World of Cicero's De Oratore aims to provide an accessible study of Cicero's first and fullest dialogue on the ideal orator-statesman. It illustrates the dialogue's achievement as a reflection of a civilized way of life and a brilliantly constructed literary unity and considers the contribution made by Cicero's recommendations to the development of rhetoric and higher education at Rome. Because Cicero deliberately set his extended conversation in the generation of his childhood teachers a study of the dialogue in its historical setting can show how the political and cultural life of this earlier period differed from Cicero's personal experience of the collapse of senatorial government when the overwhelming power of the "first triumvirate" forced him into political silence in the last decade of the republic. After an introductory chapter reviewing Cicero's position on return from exile chapters include a comparative study of the careers of M. Antonius and L. Licinius Crassus protagonists of the dialogue a discussion of Cicero's response to Plato's criticisms of rhetoric in the Gorgias and Phaedrus and his debt to Aristotle's Rhetoric analysis of the dialogue's treatment of Roman civil law existing Latin literature and historical writing Strabo's survey of the sources and application of humor political eloquence in senate and contio theories of diction and style and the techniques of oral delivery. An epilogue looks briefly at Cicero's De re publica and Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus as reflections on the transformation of oratory and free if oligarchic republican government by debate to meet the context of the new autocracy. . 0199263159 .

19991908Oxford University Press. 1999. Softcover. Fine. National University Series; 0.87 x 9.06 x 6.14 Inches; 400 pages; The family continues to be seen as a central institution in Roman as well as modern Western society. The Roman family is often used as a stereotype sometimes of severity sometimes of decadence with its decline often cited as a cause of wider decline and fall. Definitions and concepts continue to be modified and nuanced however as the availability of new evidence and new methodologies make possible a much less simplistic picture. In this volume the study of family draws on a wide range of disciplines to develop the intertwined themes of status sentiment and space. For example on status there are contributions about Junian Latins and a survey of senators' monuments while sentiment is represented by a gloomy but convincing picture of old age and a paper on the sentimental ideal which argues that conflict as well as concord is a feature of family life. Space is represented among others by the contribution on who commemorates whom in Roman Italy pointing up the regional variations in custom and the difficulties in tracing complete families. The final contributions focus on the house: how people lived in the Roman house the use of rooms and the artefacts that might indicate this use. The book makes use of many types of evidence from the legal and literary to the iconographical and archaeological. Visual and material evidence play an important role in reconstructing real lives in considerable colour and variety. The book moves beyond the city of Rome to the rest of Roman Italy and even into the provinces just as Roman culture moved outwards and mingled with other cultures. Chronologically too there are new directions towards the later Empire and Christianity. So although the contributors do not abandon any of the territory already gained in Rome nor literary and epigraphical sources nor the late Republic or early Empire there is an exciting sense of new discovery. . 0198152833 .

One small bump along top edge of board else Fine.; 9 x 0.75 x 6.25 Inches; 227 pages; This book features the efforts of a group of academics from diverse disciplines that have been working together to highlight the presence of the parrot in selected texts across the centuries. Their common purpose is to demonstrate that fictional parrots invariably function as more than decoration comedy or badges denoting the eccentricity of their human owners. These versatile and talented birds function as markers for subtle literary techniques. Using the parrot as an interpretative tool the focus is on a range of narrative strategies and metaphorical meanings employed by the authors in question and argue that these are embodied in the attributes of the speaking bird who figures significantly in each work.

Very light shelfwear else fine.; Late Antiquity witnessed a major transformation in the authority and power of the Episcopate within the Church with the result that bishops came to embody the essence of Christianity and increasingly overshadow the leading Christian laity. The rise of Episcopal power came in a period in which drastic political changes produced long and significant conflicts both within and outside the Church. This book examines these problems in depth looking at bishops' varied roles in both causing and resolving these disputes including those internal to the church those which began within the church but had major effects on wider society and those of a secular nature.; 280 pages . 1780932170 .

DJ has light creasing to edges.; Previous scholarship on classical pseudepigrapha has generally aimed at proving issues of attribution and dating of individual works with little or no attention paid to the texts as literary artefacts. Instead this book looks at Latin fakes as sophisticated products of a literary culture in which collaborative practices of supplementation recasting and role-play were the absolute cornerstones of rhetorical education and literary practice. Texts such as the Catalepton the Consolatio ad Liviam and the Panegyricus Messallae thus illuminate the strategies whereby Imperial audiences received and interrogated canonical texts and are here explored as key moments in the Imperial reception of Augustan authors such as Virgil Ovid and Tibullus. The study of the rhetoric of these creative supplements irreverently mingling truth and fiction reveals much not only about the neighbouring concepts of fiction authenticity and reality but also about the tacit assumptions by which the latter are employed in literary criticism.; 322 pages . 1107000734 .
