Connolly, Joy: The State of Speech

Rhetoric and Political Thought in Ancient Rome. Through new readings of Cicero's dialogues and treatises, Joy Connolly shows how his treatment of the Greek rhetorical tradition's central questions is shaped by his ideal of the republic and the citizen. Rhetoric, Connolly argues, sheds new light on Cicero's deepest political preoccupations: the formation of individual and communal identity, the communicative role of the body, and the "unmanly" aspects of politics, especially civility and compromise.
