Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, by identifying the influence of Cicero over time, traces the historical development of a practice referred to as 'Ciceronianism', from its beginnings and variations to its manifestation in the sixteenth century as a doctrine of style. The author divides the development of the concept into three parts: the impact of Cicero from his own time to 1450, the major Ciceronian controversies in Italy, and the connection of the movement to the development of education. The author provides an insightful survey of the major conflicts and debates on imitation and style, which highlight the evolution of ideas on how best to use language and rhetoric in creative writing throughout history. Providing both an introduction to the topic and an examination of the concept's diverse manifestations, this book presents a comprehensive overview of 'Ciceronianism' and its influence on the Western literary tradition.
