In Making a New Man John Dugan investigates how Cicero (106-43 BCE)
uses his major treatises on rhetorical theory (De oratore, Brutus,
and Orator) in order to construct himself as a new entity within
Roman cultural life: a leader who based his authority upon
intellectual, oratorical, and literary accomplishments instead of
the traditional avenues for prestige such as a distinguished
familial pedigree or political or military feats. Eschewing
conventional Roman notions of manliness, Cicero constructed a
distinctly aesthetized identity that flirts with the questionable
domains of the theatre and the feminine, and thus fashioned himself
as a "new man."
