    The first translation, produced by a team of eight scholars, of the Declamations and Preliminary Talks of the sixth-century sophist Choricius of Gaza. Declamations, deliberative or judicial orations on fictitious themes, were the fundamental advanced exercises of the rhetorical schools of the Roman Empire, of interest also to audiences outside the schools. Some of Choricius' declamations are on generic themes (e.g. a tyrannicide, a war-hero), whi…

  • Quintilian: The Orator's Education

    George A Kennedy, Donald A RussellARTICLEThe Classical World2003

    Quintilian, born in Spain about A.D. 35, became a widely known and highly successful teacher of rhetoric in Rome. The Orator's Education (Institutio Oratoria), a comprehensive training program in twelve books, draws on his own rich experience. It is a work of enduring importance, not only for its insights on oratory, but for the picture it paints of education and social attitudes in the Roman world. Quintilian offers both general and specific adv…

  • Cicero’s Oratorical and Rhetorical Legacy

    George A KennedyCHAPTERBrill's Companion to Cicero2002

    The first modern account of Cicero's legacy was Rafael Sabbadini's La Storia del Ciceronianismo of 1885; better known has been Tadeusz Zielinski's Cicero im Wandel der Jahrhunderte (1897; 1908). About the same time J. E. Sandys was publishing his splendid History of Classical Scholarship in three volumes, containing hundreds of references to Cicero from throughout western history. The author sketches the history of Ciceronianism as generally unde…

  • The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism: The Renaissance

    Open AccessPeter Brooks, George A Kennedy et al.BOOKThe Cambridge History of Literary…1999

    This 1999 volume was the first to explore as part of an unbroken continuum the critical legacy both of the humanist rediscovery of ancient learning and of its neoclassical reformulation. Focused on what is arguably the most complex phase in the transmission of the Western literary-critical heritage, the book encompasses those issues that helped shape the way European writers thought about literature from the late Middle Ages to the late seventeen…

  • Handbook of Literary Rhetoric: A Foundation for Literary Study

    Heinrich Lausberg, George A Kennedy et al.BOOKHandbook of Literary Rhetoric1998

    Lausberg's Handbook of Literary Rhetoric, here made available for the first time in English, received high critical acclaim on its first publication in 1963.

  • Sacred Rhetoric: The Christian Grand Style in the English Renaissance

    George A KennedyREVIEWComparative Literature1991

    There are no studies of a sacred grand style in the English Renaissance, writes Debora Shuger, because even according to its practitioners it was not supposed to exist. Yet the grand style forms the unacknowledged center of traditional rhetorical theory. In this first history of the grand style, Professor Shuger explores the growth of a Christian aesthetic out of the Classical grand style, showing its development from Isocrates to the sacred rhet…

  • The evolution of a theory of artistic prose

    Open AccessGeorge A KennedyCHAPTERThe Cambridge history of literary…1990

    Literary prose first emerges in the middle of the fifth century BC in writings in the Ionic dialect, including the Histories of Herodotus, then in the Attic dialect in the oratory of the Siciliạn Gorgias and the Athenian Antiphon, and is seen at the end of the century in Thucydides' History. Oratory and history, throughout antiquity, remain privileged prose genres, to which is added as a third the philosophical dialogue, developed by Plato in the…

  • Hellenistic literary and philosophical scholarship

    Open AccessGeorge A Kennedy, Doreen C InnesCHAPTERThe Cambridge history of literary…1990

    Philip of Macedon defeated the Greek city states at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC. Though they retained some control of their internal affairs, their political importance largely comes to an end. Between 336 and 323 his son, Alexander the Great, extended the Macedonian empire beyond anything the world had seen through Asia Minor, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and into the Middle East, and with it the Greek language, education, literature, and religion.…

    THE BEGINNINGS OF LITERARY ORATORY Discourse appears in Greek literature from the very beginning as a characteristic feature of Greek life. The debates of Iliad 1 and 2, the embassy of Iliad 9, and the pathetic appeal of Priam in Iliad 24 were often cited by later rhetoricians, while the comparison in the Iliad (3.212–24) of the oratory of Odysseus and Menelaus shows a critical awareness of style and delivery at the dawn of European literature.
