Inhaltsangabe

""Transition In The Attic Orators"" by Robert Dale Elliott is a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the Attic oratory tradition in ancient Greece from the 5th to the 4th century BCE. The book explores the ways in which the style and content of Athenian speeches changed during this period, as well as the factors that contributed to these changes.Elliott’s research draws on a wide range of primary sources, including speeches, inscriptions, and literary works, to provide a detailed examination of the rhetorical techniques used by prominent orators such as Lysias, Isocrates, and Demosthenes. He also examines the social and political context in which these speeches were delivered, exploring the ways in which changes in Athenian society and politics influenced the development of oratory.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the transition in Attic oratory. Topics covered include the emergence of a more personal and emotional style of speech, the increasing use of rhetorical devices such as metaphor and analogy, and the growing importance of audience appeal in persuasive speaking.Overall, ""Transition In The Attic Orators"" provides a fascinating insight into the evolution of one of the most important traditions in Western rhetoric. It will be of interest to scholars of ancient Greek history, literature, and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the history of rhetoric and public speaking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
