Download or read book Political Speeches written by Cicero and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Two things alone I long for: first, that when I die I may leave the Roman people free...and second, that each person's fate may reflect the way he has behaved towards his country.' Cicero (106-43 BC) was the greatest orator of the ancient world and a leading politician of the closing era of the Roman republic. This book presents nine speeches which reflect the development, variety, and drama of his political career,among them two speeches from his prosecution of Verres, a corrupt and cruel governor of Sicily; four speeches against the conspirator Catiline; and the Second Philippic, the famous denunciation of Mark Antony which cost Cicero his life. Also included are On the Command of Gnaeus Pompeius, in which he praises the military successes of Pompey, and For Marcellus, a panegyric in praise of the dictator Julius Caesar. These new translations preserve Cicero's rhetorical brilliance and achieve new standards of accuracy. A general introduction outlines Cicero's public career, and separate introductions explain the political significance of each of the speeches. Together with its companion volume, Defence Speeches, this edition provides an unparalleled sampling of Cicero's oratorical achievements.

Book Synopsis Ten Speeches by : Marcus Tullius Cicero
Download or read book Ten Speeches written by Marcus Tullius Cicero and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten speeches in this volume illustrate Cicero's entire career and exemplify all the major contexts for his oratory: before the senate, the people, and the courts. They illuminate the major political crises of Cicero's time and offer portraits of many of the major political figures. Several of these speeches also shed light on the most important cultural and literary debates of the late Republic. James Zetzel's general Introduction discusses Cicero's public life; the social, political, and cultural contexts of his speeches; and the challenges of translating them into modern English. This edition also includes an introduction to each speech, a section on Roman institutions and offices, a chronological table, maps, a bibliography, and a biographical index.
Book Synopsis Cicero's Catilinarians by : D. H. Berry
Download or read book Cicero's Catilinarians written by D. H. Berry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catilinarians are a set of four speeches that Cicero, while consul in 63 BC, delivered before the senate and the Roman people against the conspirator Catiline and his followers. Or are they? Cicero did not publish the speeches until three years later, and he substantially revised them before publication, rewriting some passages and adding others, all with the aim of justifying the action he had taken against the conspirators and memorializing his own role in the suppression of the conspiracy. How, then, should we interpret these speeches as literature? Can we treat them as representing what Cicero actually said? Or do we have to read them merely as political pamphlets from a later time? In this, the first book-length discussion of these famous speeches, D. H. Berry clarifies what the speeches actually are and explains how he believes we should approach them. In addition, the book contains a full and up-to-date account of the Catilinarian conspiracy and a survey of the influence that the story of Catiline has had on writers such as Sallust and Virgil, Ben Jonson and Henrik Ibsen, from antiquity to the present day.

Book Synopsis Heuristic Strategies in the Speeches of Cicero by : Gábor Tahin
Download or read book Heuristic Strategies in the Speeches of Cicero written by Gábor Tahin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-23 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a new form of argumentative analysis: rhetorical heuremes. The method applies the concepts of heuristic thinking, probability, and contingency in order to develop a better understanding of complex arguments in classical oratory. A new theory is required because Greek and Roman rhetoric cannot provide detailed answers to problems of strategic argumentation in the analysis of speeches. Building on scholarship in Ciceronian oratory, this book moves beyond the extant terminology and employs a concept of heuristic reasoning derived from the psychology of decision making and mathematical problem solving. The author analyses selected passages from Cicero’s forensic speeches where arguments of probability are deployed, and shows that the Sophistic concept of probability can link ancient rhetoric and modern theories of argumentation. Six groups of heuremes are identified, each of which represents a form of probabilistic reasoning by which the orator plays upon the perception of the jurors.

Book Synopsis Cicero's Accretive Style by : Steven M. Cerutti
Download or read book Cicero's Accretive Style written by Steven M. Cerutti and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1996 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cicero's Accretive Style is a book about the nature of the Ciceronian exordium and its rhetorical structure and function. Through a sentence-by-sentence stylistic analysis of the exordia of a selection of Cicero's judicial speeches, this book explores how Cicero uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to fulfill the aims of the exordium as he himself defined them. The speeches selected for study include the Pro Quinctio, Pro Roscio Amerino, and Pro Rege Deiotaro, and cover the span of Cicero's career. The focus of the analysis is on Cicero's "accretive" style--not a rhetorical device in the formal sense, but a conscious, stylistic effort whose effect is rhetorical. Because Cicero also wrote important treatises on oratory and rhetoric, this book measures how closely Cicero followed his own guidelines laid down for the exordium, and how and under what circumstances he deviated or departed from them.

Book Synopsis Cicero's Speeches by : Stephen Usher
Download or read book Cicero's Speeches written by Stephen Usher and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During his hours of leisure from the law-courts and from politics, Cicerco found time to theorize about oratory and rhetoric, and from these studies there emerged the image of the ideal orator. This paragon was no mere rabble-rouser or mouther of words: he was man of wide culture who had been trained in the finer arts of rhetoric, through which he aimed to give his speeches a moral dimension as well as the power to persuade. But does Cicero's own oratory always display the qualities that he demands from his model? This is a fundamentally important question, and which he must frequently have asked himself. Yet he never answers it fully, and it has never been examined systemically throughout the whole corpus of his speeches. Such an examination is attempted in this present study. In the course of it, in addition to style, the forensic and historical background to each of the speeches is discussed, as are the legal and philosophical questions raised by the refinements themselves, which are found to be unevenly distributed, thereby giving a new insight into Cicero's interests and priorities."--BOOK JACKET.
