Brill's Companion to Cicero

This volume is intended as a companion to the study of Cicero's oratory and rhetoric, for both students and experts in the field: for the neophyte, it provides a starting point; for the veteran Ciceronian scholar, a place for renewing the dialogue about issues concerning Ciceronian oratory and rhetoric; for all, a site of engagement at various levels with Ciceronian oratory scholarship and bibliography. The book is arranged along roughly chronological lines and covers most aspects of Cicero's oratory and rhetoric. A bibliography of the relevant items from the past 25 years, keyed to specific Ciceronian works, completes the volume.

Review:

'The growth of interest in Ovid over the last half-century has prompted creation of various kinds of handbooks and companions to the great Roman poet, and Brill has produced one of the best...an intelligent and wll-coordinated collection of responses to the versatility of a scintillating poet.' William S. Anderson, New England Classical Journal, 2005. 'In sum a useful and reliable volume...' Roy Gibson, BMCR, 2003.
