As a genre situated at the crossroad of rhetoric and fiction, declamatio offers the freedom to experiment with new forms of discourse. Placing the literariness of declamatio into the spotlight, this volume showcases declamation as a realm of genuine literary creation with its own theoretical underpinning, literary technique and generic conventions. Focusing on the oeuvre of (Ps)Quintilian, this volume demonstrates that these texts constitute a genre on their own, the rhetorical and literary framework of which remains not yet fully mapped. It is of interest to students and scholars of Rhetoric and Roman Literature.

Minor handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Rhetorical education, literary artistry, and cultural negotiation converge in these studies of the declamations attributed to Quintilian, revealing how fictional trials and performances shaped Roman voices and identities. -- The volume opens with pedagogy, showing how student declaimers could challenge paternal authority and social norms in cases like Minor Declamation 260, while teachers left metarhetorical traces that blurred the line between classroom training and public performance. Literary construction then comes into focus: contributors analyze the role of controversia figurata in shaping figurative speech, the crafted ethos of the father in Major Declamation 5, the imaginative power of mourning and phantasia in Major Declamation 10, and the thematic force of fama across the corpus. A third section explores intertext and genre, tracing how the monstrous noverca (stepmother) is pieced together through earlier literary traditions, and how medical knowledge organizes narrative in Major Declamation 8. The final section examines ethics and politics, from the imaginative civitas of cannibals in Major Declamation 12, to elite vulnerability under accusation in Major Declamation 11, to reflections on tyranny and tyrannicide in the Minor Declamations. Together these essays demonstrate that the corpus is far more than schoolroom fodder: it was a lively arena where rhetoric became literature and society rehearsed its anxieties. -- The book's singular focus is on the pseudo-Quintilianic declamations, a body of work often marginalized despite its richness. By treating declamation simultaneously as pedagogy, literary technique, and socio-political commentary, it establishes a methodological model for approaching a genre that straddles fiction and performance. The essays illuminate processes of identity formation, the politics of persuasion, and the literariness of speech - topics central to current debates in cultural history, rhetorical practice, and literary theory. This makes the collection indispensable for scholars of Roman literature, rhetoric, and education. -- Contents: Introduction; I Practicing Roman Declamation.
