A lucid invitation to the craft of persuasion, and a measured meditation on power. This edition of A Dialogue Concerning Oratory, Or The Causes Of Corrupt Eloquence brings Tacitus's classic study into clear reach for today's readers. In the seventh and longest of the Tacitean works here, the Roman empire era is examined through a demanding, almost diagnostic eye. The text blends historical essays collection sensibilities with a public speaking manual's precision, offering a nuanced corrupt eloquence analysis and a rigorous political rhetoric critique. It is as much a timeless eloquence and power study as a guide for writers and speakers who seek to understand rhetoric's moral weight and social impact. For students of rhetoric and the general reader alike, it opens a window onto ancient Rome context and the Latin prose tradition, while inviting comparisons with neoclassical echoes in later eras. Significance and appeal are clear: this is more than a reprint; it is a restored, enduring cultural treasure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it stands as a collector's item for connoisseurs and a vital resource for scholars. A work that informs, challenges, and rewards careful reading, it invites casual readers and classic-literature collectors to ponder how language shapes power, influence, and public life.
