The Attic Orators' have left us a hundred speeches for lawsuits, a
body of work that reveals an important connection between evolving
rhetoric and the jury trial. The essays in this volume explore that
formative linkage, representing the main directions of recent work
on the Orators: the emergence of technical manuals and
ghost-written speeches for prospective litigants; the technique for
adapting documentary evidence to common-sense notions about
probable motives and typical characters; and profiling the jury as
the ultimate arbiter of values. An Introduction by the editor
explores the speechwriter's art in terms of the imagined community.
Four essays appear in English here for the first time, and all
Greek has been translated.
