A new and original anthology that introduces the key writings on
rhetoric in the classical world, from Aristotle to Cicero and
beyond. Classical rhetoric is one of the earliest versions of what
is today known as media studies. It was absolutely crucial to life
in the ancient world, whether in the courtroom, the legislature or
on ceremonial occasions, and was described as either the art of
persuasion or the art of speaking well. This anthology, edited by
Thomas Habinek, brings together all the most important ancient
writings on rhetoric, including works by Cicero, Aristotle,
Quintilian and Philostratus. Ranging across such themes as memory,
persuasion, delivery and style, it provides a fascinating
introduction to classical rhetoric and will be an invaluable
sourcebook for students of the ancient world.
