As a genre situated at the crossroad of rhetoric and fiction declamatio offers the freedom to experiment with new forms of discourse. Placing the literariness of declamatio into the spotlight, this volume showcases declamation as a realm of genuine literary creation with its own theoretical underpinning, literary technique and generic conventions. Focusing on the oeuvre of Calpurnius Flaccus this volume demonstrates that these texts constitute a genre on their own, the rhetorical and literary framework of which remains not yet fully mapped. Contributions from an international group of leading scholars from the field of Roman Literature and Rhetoric will explore the question of how Roman Declamation functions as a literary genre. This volume investigates the literary technique and the generic conventions of declamatio in its social, pedagocial and ethical context to determine "the poetics" of Roman Declamation. This volume is of interest to students and scholars of Rhetoric and Roman Literature. If you are interested in Roman Declamation, we also recommend the volume on the Declamations Ascribed to Quintilian by the same editors to you.

Recenzje

"Infine, come ogni libro importante anche il nostro contiene in sé le premesse per la propria continuazione, suggerendo come a tutti i livelli - da quello più strettamente critico-testuale a quello interpretativo e persino prosopografico - l'opera di Calpurnio Flacco sia ancora passibile di offrire a nuove generazioni di studiosi materiali per approfondimenti e avanzamenti ulteriori della ricerca."
Mario Lentano in: Anzeiger für die Altertumswissenschaft 70.3-4 (2017), 148-153
