Title: Creative eloquence : the construction of reality in Cicero's speeches /
Authors: Gildenhard, Ingo, 1970-
Publisher: Oxford University Press,
Year: 2011
Subjects: Cicero, Marcus Tullius Criticism and interpretation.
Abstract: This is a study of the orations of the Roman statesman Cicero. Ingo Gildenhard does not treat them simply as models of eloquence, as previous critics have done, but as repositories for Cicero's most profound thinking on perennial questions as the ethics of happiness, the notion of conscience, and the problem of divine justice.
