Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The volume's thirty-five chapters are authored by experts in the field and offer both
comprehensive coverage and an up-to-date reference point for the issues and problems
encountered when approaching the speeches in particular: they not only showcase how
Demosthenes' rhetoric was profoundly influenced by Athenian reality, but also explore
its reception from Demosthenes' own day right up until the present and how his presentation
of his world has subsequently shaped our view of it. The wide range of expertise and
the different scholarly traditions represented are a vivid demonstration of the richness
and diversity of current Demosthenic studies and the contribution the volume makes
to enriching our knowledge of the life and work of one of the most prominent figures
of ancient Greece will be of significance to a wide readership interested in Athenian
history, society, rhetoric, politics, and law
