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 the persuasion or the art of speaking well. This anthology
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.
