"In this book Roman oratory is explored from the perspective of form and function.
Leading scholars in the field of Latin prose consider not only the speeches of Cicero,
Pliny, Apuleius and the later panegyrists, but also those found in Roman philosophical
writing, and in the histories of Caesar, Sallust, Livy and Tacitus. In each case,
analysis of the interplay of form and function takes us to the heart of the process
by which the author's aims are realised. The book also considers the functions of
texts within speeches, the functions of not speaking and the representation of oratorical
'form' in Roman sculpture. An original and wide-ranging study, Form and Function in
Roman Oratory will appeal to scholars and students with interests in Roman oratory,
historiography, philosophy and art" -- Provided by publisher
