Ethics and Rhetoric - Classical Essays for Donald Russell on His Seventy-Fifth Birthday

Zusatztext Even more of a tribute, however, and evident throughout the volume, is the inspirational influence that he has had on students and colleagues alike ... this is one Festchrift that will not subside into obscurity. Klappentext Donald Russell, Emeritus Professor of Classical Literature at the University of Oxford, has been a leading figure in several fields of classical scholarship over the last few decades. The present volume collects essays written in his honour by scholars who have all worked closely with him. They fall into three sections, corresponding to Donald Russell's main work: Latin literature, Greek imperial literature, and ancient literary criticism. They are unified by two of Russell's own pervasive concerns: ethics, the concern of classical literature with moral conduct, and rhetoric, the techniques of effective persuasion. Zusammenfassung A collection of new essays on the theme of ethics and rhetoric in classical literature, by an extremely prestigious array of scholars from the UK, US, and Europe in honour of Professor Donald Russell, former Professor of Classical Literature at Oxford.
