The Rhetoric of Free Speech in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages

Beschreibung

This in-depth and accessible analysis of the rhetoric of dissidents, outsiders and truth-tellers challenges preconceptions about free speech and political criticism in the early Middle Ages, revealing that there was room for political dissent in this period, as long as critics employed the right rhetoric and adhered to scripted roles.
