Papers on Quintilian and Ancient Declamation

Michael Winterbottom (Corpus Christi Professor of Latin Emeritus, Corpus Christi Professor of Latin Emeritus, University of Oxford)

Declamation - the practice of training young men to speak in public by setting them to compose and deliver speeches on fictional legal cases - was central to the Greek and Roman educational systems over many centuries. The work of Michael Winterbottom has been seminal in the recent explosion of interest in the topic and the present volume brings together a broad selection of his scholarly articles and reviews published since 1964, focusing on two related topics: the rhetorician Quintilian and ancient declamation in practice.
