Book Synopsis
Re-evaluates a genre that was central to the Greek literature of the high Roman empire. Rejecting traditional conceptions of the genre as 'nostalgic', it explores the significance of Greek declamation's re-enactment of classical history for its own times and how it contributed to identity formation, social interaction and political discussion.
