Leading scholars of classical rhetoric address contemporary topics in Greek rhetoric and oratory.

Industry Reviews
"The importance of the collection lies in the complexity and diversity of issues which these scholars bring to the question of the early stages of Greek oratory and education ... the work is a satisfying read. Each author is clear, concise, and offers a number of insights and suggestions." - H-Net Reviews (H-Rhetor) "With postmodernism, a good deal of slipshod nonsense has been written about the role of the Sophists. Everyone is trying to get a new pedigree for their ideas in Greco-Roman foundations. This book gives a more complex and many-sided view of the Sophists than the post-modernist romantic image. This book brings together the unresolved issues of our time and engages questions that every rhetorical scholar engages today. It represents the mature thought of senior scholars. It is going to be one of the mighty ones." - Andrew King, Louisiana State University
