The Politics and Poetics of Cicero's Brutus

Beschreibung

Cicero's Brutus (46 BCE), a magisterial dialogue on Rome's oratorical and political history, was written amidst Julius Caesar's rise to power. This book examines how Cicero, in responding to the civic crisis and contemporary intellectual developments, ultimately created the first complex account of literary history in the European tradition.
