Agricola

Informationen zum Autor Maurice Hutton (1856–1940) was Professor of Classics and Principal of University College at the University of Toronto. Sir William Peterson (1856–1921) was Professor of Classics and Principal of McGill University. Robert Maxwell Ogilvie (1932–1981) was Professor of Humanity at the University of St Andrews. E. H. Warmington was Professor of Classics at Birkbeck College, London, and General Editor of the Loeb Classical Library (1937–1974). Michael Winterbottom is the Corpus Christi Professor of Latin Emeritus at Oxford University. Klappentext "Dialogue on Oratory" is a lively conversation of three friends--a lawyer, a poet, and a connoisseur of oratory--about declining standards in the art of public speaking (a question that also troubled Quintilian). The discussion, relaxed and urbane, is concerned with eloquence in both political and lawcourt speeches. This work by Tacitus has a distinctly Ciceronian air. Zusammenfassung Tacitus (ca. AD 55–120) is an essential historian of the early Roman empire. Agricola narrates its subject's career in Britain. Germania is a description of German tribes as known to the Romans. Dialogus concerns the decline of oratory and education.
