Beschreibung
This book explores the much maligned and misunderstood genre of declamation. Instead of a bastard rhetoric, declamation should be seen as a venue within which the rhetoric of the legitimate self is constructed. These fictions of the self are uncannily real, and these stagey dramas are in fact rehearsals for the serious play of Roman identity. Critics of declamation find themselves recapitulating the very logic of the genre they are refusing. When declamation is read in the light of the contemporary theory of the subject a wholly different picture emerges: this is a canny game played with and within the rhetoric of the self. This book makes broad claims for what is often seen as a narrow topic. An appendix includes a fresh translation and brief discussion of a sample of surviving examples of declamation.

Über den Autor
Erik Gunderson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Greek and Latin at the Ohio State University. He is the author of Staging Masculinity: The Rhetoric of Performance in the Roman World (2000; ISBN [...]).
Zusammenfassung
For centuries declamation was a staple of education and cultured literary life in the Roman world. This book offers a radical re-evaluation of the genre, its social import, and its place in the history of the Western self. Ironically this genre that is obsessed with ‘growing up’ has been rejected by its own posterity. Professor Gunderson explores the social and psychic dynamics of this refusal both within the ancient world and beyond. The book will interest specialists in classics, rhetoric and psychoanalytic literary criticism.
