Cicero's Style: A Synopsis

Michael von Albrecht

3.5/5 ( ratings)

This comprehensive study of Cicero's style discusses differences of literary genres , nuances of style within individual works , and chronological development , followed by an account of fixed elements typical of Cicero's diction . Finally, selected interpretative studies demonstrate the relationship of style and context in the orations, with special regard to literary form and political or moral content . The book concludes with an Epilogue on the De oratore and the culture of speech. Contrary to inveterate prejudices, Cicero does not confine himself to a single style, but consciously and ably employs the full register of styles. The author points out in what respects a study of his style might be rewarding even today."
