As a genre uniquely dependent on an immediate interaction between author and audience, ancient oratory becomes performance art. Vasaly investigates the way Cicero represented the contemporary physical world--places, topography, and monuments, both those seen and those merely mentioned--to his listeners and demonstrates how he used these representations to persuade. Her exceptionally well-written study deftly recaptures the immediacy of Cicero's oratory and makes a trenchant contribution to an important new area of inquiry in Classical Studies. 606 $aSpeeches, addresses, etc., Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMimesis in literature 606 $aOratory, Ancient 607 $aRome$xIn literature 615 0$aSpeeches, addresses, etc., Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMimesis in literature. 615 0$aOratory, Ancient. 676 $a875.01 700 $aVasaly$b Ann$01221731 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495956003321 996 $aRepresentations$92832980 997 $aUNINA
