Description

The Orator's Education Books 1-2 by Donald Andrew Russell A comprehensive training program in rhetoric, The Orator's Education is a work of enduring importance that offers insights into oratory and the education system of ancient Rome. Written by Quintilian, this twelve-book text provides guidance on proper schooling, speech structure, devices to engage listeners, memory, delivery, and gestures. Donald Russell's five-volume Loeb Classical Library edition provides a fully up-to-date translation with explanatory notes that enable full appreciation of this central work in the history of rhetoric. This edition replaces an eighty-year-old translation by H. E. Butler, offering a text and facing translation well-tuned to today's manner of expression. This edition is ideal for those interested in classical studies, education, or the history of rhetoric.
