Opis

Some of the finest Greek writers--Demosthenes, Lysias, Antiphon--were also great orators. However, a number of other Greek writers who specialized purely in oratory have largely been overlooked by classicists. Dr. Stephen Usher addresses this imbalance by showing the diversity of the inherited rhetorical tradition, and by demonstrating through close critical examination how the individual characteristics of the orators were developed.

Recenzje

more precisely and elegantly stated, and more thoroughly illustrated and supported than anything I am familiar with ... this book has considerable strengths and will interest all who work on the orators.
