"Previous studies on the relationship between rhetorical theory and Roman poetry have
generally taken the form of lists enumerating elements of style and arrangement that
poets are said to have 'borrowed' from rhetorical critics. This book examines, and
ultimately questions, this entrenched theoretical model and the very notion of rhetorical
influence on which this paradigm is built. Tracing key moments in the poetic and the
rhetorical traditions, in the context of which the problematic relationship of difference
and similarity between rhetorical and poetic discourse is discussed, the book focuses
on the cultural relevance of this intellectual divide in Roman literary culture. The
study of rhetorical sources, such as Cicero, Seneca the Elder and Quintilian, and
of select responses in Roman poetry, sheds light on long-standing scholarly assumptions
about classical poetry as artless language and about the role of rhetoric in the construction
of the decline of post-classical cultures."
