The `Attic Orators' have left us a hundred speeches for lawsuits, a body of work that reveals an important connection between evolving rhetoric and the jury trial. The essays in this volume explore that formative linkage, representing the main directions of recent work on the Orators: the emergence of technical manuals and ghost-written speeches for prospective litigants; the technique for adapting documentary evidence to common-sense notions about probable motives and typical characters; and profiling the jury as the ultimate arbiter of values. An Introduction by the editor explores the speechwriter's art in terms of the imagined community. Four essays appear in English here for the first time, and all Greek has been translated.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Could probably call this Near Fine, but don't want to get into arguments with picky buyers. Previous owner added a clear plastic cover over the dust jacket. Insides utterly clean and unmarked except for a penciled-in price and previous seller's number inside front cover. Outsides much cleaner than they look in the pictures: dust jacket is so shiny it reflects my hands, camera, and surroundings. N° de réf. du vendeur 40
