'What is more appealing to ear and mind than a speech enriched with wise opinions and impressive language? What so powerful or impressive as the ability of a single man to affect the emotions of the people, the scruples of the judges, the sober deliberation of the senate, all by means of a speech?'
Rhetoric, or the art of persuasion and speaking well, was the lifeblood of the classical world, whether in the courtroom, in politics or in ruling. This new anthology brings together the most important ancient writings on the art of rhetoric from classical Greece and Rome, including works by Cicero, Aristotle, Quintilian and Philostratus. Ranging across such themes as memory, delivery and style, they show us the enduring power of language to move, to convince, and to win.
Translated and edited by Thomas Habinek
