Rhetoric thoroughly infused the world and literature of
Graeco-Roman antiquity. This Companion provides a comprehensive
overview of rhetorical theory and practice in that world, from
Homer to early Christianity, accessible to students and
non-specialists, whether within classics or from other periods and
disciplines. Its basic premise is that rhetoric is less a discrete
object to be grasped and mastered than a hotly contested set of
practices that include disputes over the very definition of
rhetoric itself. Standard treatments of ancient oratory tend to
take it too much in its own terms and to isolate it unduly from
other social and cultural concerns. This volume provides an
overview of the shape and scope of the problems while also
identifying core themes and propositions: for example, persuasion,
virtue, and public life are virtual constants. But they mix and
mingle differently, and the contents designated by each of these
terms can also shift.
