At its very center, The Cultivation of Character and Culture in
Roman Rhetorical Education: The Available Means is a study of the
subtle, organic ways that rhetoric can work to cultivate a
particular character. This is an extension of the current work in
composition studies, which focus on the ways that writing
instruction contributes to the development of individual power and
agency in students, combined with an ancient understanding of the
ways that students learned to act within a particular, accepted
cultural framework. It recognizes and reclaims a lost dimension of
rhetoric, a dimension that is conceptually linked to the martial
culture of the ancient world, to show how ancient rhetorical theory
framed the discipline as an education in thinking, speaking, and
acting in ways that were necessary to be both a persuasive speaker
and an effective leader. Through close readings and analysis of
particular rhetorical exercises, the book shows how rhetorical
education shaped characters that were appropriate in the eyes of
the dominant culture but were also capable of working independently
to progressively alter that culture. In showing the ways that
rhetorical education shaped a particular character, the book
demonstrates the ways that the combination character, culture, and
virtue are vital to leadership in any time.
