Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Ethics, Identity, and Community in Later Roman Declamation is the first book devoted exclusively to the Major Declamations and its reception in later European literature. It argues that the fictional scenarios of the Major Declamations enable the conceptual exploration of a variety of ethical and social issues. Chapters explore these cultural matters, covering, in turn, the construction of authority, the verification of claims, the conventions of reciprocity, and the ethics of spectatorship. The book closes with a study of the reception of the collection by the Renaissance humanist Juan Luis Vives and the eighteenth-century scholar Lorenzo Patarol, followed by a brief postscript that deftly surveys the use of declamatory exercises in the contemporary university. This much-needed and engaging study will rescue the Major Declamations from generations of neglect, while critically informing current work in rhetorical studies.; 240 pages. Artikel-Nr. 17412

Oxford University Press, 2013. X,229p. Hardback. With dust wrps. Nice copy. Like new. 'Neil Bernstein aligns himself with scholars of recent decades who have successfully argued that, in this and other ways, declamation was more than a mere rhetorical exercise. Bernstein?s specific contribution to declamation studies is a close reading of sixteen of the nineteen Declamationes Majores of ps.-Quintilian, probably by a number of different authors from the late first to the early third centuries. He has expended great care on his declaimers, and he deftly brings to bear on his argument both other ancient declamations and key Latin texts on the various ethical and social codes and issues raised. (.) What we learn from his close reading of them, though, is that declamations did not merely offer young elite males exposure to reigning cultural norms, but also gave them an opportunity to think about these norms and their complexities before inheriting their fathers? social positions, and to consider how to accommodate multiple perspectives (including those of social inferiors) and how they might behave if one day they found themselves in the plight of some of the denizens of declamation. (.) This book is required reading for anyone already seriously interested in ancient declamation and also a good entrée into the newly sympathetic field of declamation studies.' (ROBERT J. PENELLA in Classical World 2015, pp.306-07). Artikel-Nr. 43703
