As a genre situated at the crossroad of rhetoric and fiction
declamatio offers the freedom to experiment with new forms of
discourse. Placing the literariness of declamatio into the
spotlight, this volume showcases declamation as a realm of genuine
literary creation with its own theoretical underpinning, literary
technique and generic conventions. Focusing on the oeuvre of
Calpurnius Flaccus this volume demonstrates that these texts
constitute a genre on their own, the rhetorical and literary
framework of which remains not yet fully mapped. Contributions from
an international group of leading scholars from the field of Roman
Literature and Rhetoric will explore the question of how Roman
Declamation functions as a literary genre. This volume investigates
the literary technique and the generic conventions of declamatio in
its social, pedagocial and ethical context to determine "the
poetics" of Roman Declamation. This volume is of interest to
students and scholars of Rhetoric and Roman Literature. If you are
interested in Roman Declamation, we also recommend the volume on
the Declamations Ascribed to Quintilian by the same editors to you.
