A contemporary approach to a classic text from one of ancient
Rome's master educatorsQuintilian on the Teaching of Speaking and
Writing offers scholars and students insights into the pedagogies
of Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (ca. CE 35-ca. CE 95), one of Rome's
most famous teachers of rhetoric. Providing translations of three
key sections from Quintilian's important and influential Institutio
oratoria (Education of the Orator), this volume outlines the
systematic educational processes that Quintilian inherited from the
Greeks, foregrounding his rationale for rhetorical education based
on the interrelationship between reading, speaking, listening, and
writing, and emphasizing the blending of moral purpose and artistic
skill. A contemporary approach to one of the most influential
educational work in the history of Western culture, this book
provides access not only to translations of key sections of
Quintilian's educational program but also a robust contemporary
framework for the training of humane and effective citizens through
the teaching of speaking and writing.
