Praise and Blame in Roman Republican
Rhetoric
edited by Christopher Smith and Ralph Covino
Cicero, and others in the Roman Republic, were
masters of both invective and panegyric, two hugely important genres
in ancient oratory, which influenced the later theory and practice
of rhetoric. The papers in this volume address strategies of vituperation
and eulogy within the Republic, and examine the mechanisms and effects
of praise and blame.
