Cicero's De Oratore is one of the masterpieces of Latin prose. A
literary dialogue in the Greek tradition, it was written in 55 BCE
in the midst of political turmoil at Rome, but reports a discussion
'concerning the (ideal) orator' that supposedly took place in 90
BCE, just before an earlier crisis. Cicero features eminent orators
and statesmen of the past as participants in this discussion,
presenting competing views on many topics. This edition of Book III
is the first since 1893 to provide a Latin text and full
introduction and commentary in English. It is intended to help
advanced students and others interested in Roman literature to
comprehend the grammar and appreciate the stylistic nuances of
Cicero's Latin, to trace the historical, literary, and theoretical
background of the topics addressed, and to interpret Book III in
relation to the rest of De Oratore and to Cicero's other works.
