Excerpt from Studies in Fronto, and His Age: With an Appendix on African Latinity, Illustrated by Selections From the Correspondence of Fronto
There is no more striking phenomenon in the history of taste than the transitoriness of great reputations. Nevertheless rarely, if ever, has the tide turned so decidedly as in the case of Marcus Cornelius F ronto, who ranked until the beginning of the last century with the greatest names in Roman literature, and who is to-day a nonentity, remembered, if he is remembered at all.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and works of Marcus Cornelius Fronto, a prominent Roman orator and teacher who flourished in the second century AD. The author explores Fronto's reputation in antiquity, examining how he was revered by his contemporaries and later overshadowed by the rediscovery of his personal correspondence. The book analyzes the challenges facing Latin literature in the wake of the Augustan Age, including the decline of civic life, the rise of dilettantism, and the stifling influence of the Roman Empire. The author examines Fronto's role in a significant literary movement known as archaism, a deliberate return to earlier forms of Latin. The book argues that this movement, while initially appearing to hasten the demise of Roman literature, was ultimately a crucial step in the evolution of the Latin language, laying the groundwork for the development of the Romance languages. The book also explores Fronto's views on education, rhetoric, and the importance of choosing the right words, offering insights into his pedagogical methods and his understanding of the power of language. By illuminating Fronto's life and work, this book sheds light on a pivotal period in the history of Latin literature and provides a nuanced understanding of the forces that shaped the evolution of the language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
