TRIALS OF CHARACTER The Eloquence of Ciceronian Ethos
The University of North Carolina Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. 0807817597 . Very light bump to 1 corner. Else book is fine. Sticker residue to front panel of DJ. ; 0.88 x 9.48 x 6.38 Inches; 224 pages; By its very nature the art of oratory involves character. Verbal persuasion entails the presentation of a persona by the speaker that affects an audience for good or ill. In this book James May explores the role and extent of Cicero's use of ethos and demonstrates its persuasive effect. May discusses the importance of ethos not just in classical rhetorical theory but also in the social political and judicial milieu of ancient Rome and then applies his insights to the oratory of Cicero. Ciceronian ethos was a complex blend of Roman tradition Cicero's own personality and selected features of Greek and Roman oratory. More than any other ancient literary genre oratory dealt with constantly changing circumstances with a wide variety of rhetorical challenges. An orator's success or failure as well as the artistic quality of his orations was largely the direct result of his responses to these circumstances and challenges. Acutely aware of his audience and its cultural heritage and steeped in the rhetorical traditions of his predecessors Cicero employed rhetorical ethos with uncanny success. May analyzes individual speeches from four different periods of Cicero's career tracing changes in the way Cicero depicted character both his own and others' as a source of persuasion changes intimately connected with the vicissitudes of Cicero's career and personal life. He shows that ethos played a major role in almost every Ciceronian speech that Cicero's audiences were conditioned by common beliefs about character and finally that Cicero's rhetorical ethos became a major source for persuasion in his oratory. .

Der Schatz Im Silbersee
St. Otto-Verlag Bamberg: 1755 Tausend Verlag Bamberg Satz & Druck 1952. Book. Very Good-. Hardcover. Later Printing. An extraordinarily pretty copy with one notable issue which could be a flaw or perhaps as the book was made. This is a mild symetrical warpedness of it's boards which I will try to capture in its foto though it is subtle enough that the camera may miss it. Not cocking spine slant a different condition caused by bad storage. Spine is gilt worked and front illustration Indians in canoe laid on front board is beautiful. Text a bit brown suspect as made supple and unmarked. We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described and graded using the strict traditional standards. For this reason we have virtually zero returns. 1755 Tausend, Verlag Bamberg, Satz & Druck Hardcover
