Description

Cicero's speeches provide a fascinating window into the political battles and crises of his time. In this book, Joanna Kenty examines Cicero's persuasive strategies and the subtleties of his Latin prose, and shows how he used eight political personae – the attacker, the grateful friend, the martyr, the senator, the partisan ideologue, and others – to maximize his political leverage in the latter half of his career. These personae were what made his arguments convincing, and drew audiences into Cicero's perspective. Non-specialist and expert readers alike will gain new insight into Cicero's corpus and career as a whole, as well as a better appreciation of the context, details, and nuances of individual passages. Review 'Kenty's thematic approach makes this book a welcome complement to scholarship that adopts a chronological approach to Cicero's writings.' J. Boersma, Choice'… a well-informed and deeply researched study, but also a highly entertaining read for everyone'. Damian Pierzak, Institute of Literary Studies Book Description Provides new insights into Cicero's political manoeuvring and the subtleties of his Latin prose. About the Author Joanna Kenty earned her PhD in Classical Studies from the University of Pennsylvania and subsequently held positions at the University of New Hampshire, Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Temple University's campus in Rome. Her research focuses on the confluence of literature, history and politics in the late Roman republic, and she has also published articles on classical receptions in the American Revolution, as well as continuities from ancient to modern American political rhetoric.
