Inhaltsangabe
The 'Attic Orators' have left us a hundred speeches for lawsuits, a body of work that reveals an important connection between evolving rhetoric and the jury trial. The essays in this volume explore that formative linkage, representing the main directions of recent work on the Orators: the emergence of technical manuals and ghost-written speeches for prospective litigants; the technique for adapting documentary evidence to common-sense notions about probable motives and typical characters; and profiling the jury as the ultimate arbiter of values. An Introduction by the editor explores the speechwriter's art in terms of the imagined community. Four essays appear in English here for the first time, and all Greek has been translated.

Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XXIV, 450 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / binding slightly rubbed, otherwise very good condition. - No other corpus tells us as much about the daily lives and deepest convictions of the ancient Athenians as the surviving speeches of the 'Attic Orators'. These were the canonical ten speechwriters, from Antiphon to Demosthenes and his rivals (with at least one interloper, Apollodorus). Their work spans roughly a century, from the Peloponnesian War to the death of Alexander. These writers have left us over a hundred speeches for lawsuits, a body of work that reveals an evolving connection between rhetoric and the jury trial. The essays in this volume explore that formative linkage, representing the main directions of recent work on the Orators: the emergence of technical manuals and ghost-written speeches for prospective litigants; the technique for adapting documentary evidence to common-sense notions about probable motives and typical characters; and profiling the jury as the ultimate arbiter of values. An Introduction by the editor explores the speechwriter's art in terms of the imagined community. Four essays appear in English here for the first time, all Greek has been translated, and a glossary explains the special terms of law and rhetoric. / Contents Abbreviations and Conventions Introduction I.
