The World of Tacitus' Dialogus de Oratoribus: Aesthetics and Empire in Ancient Rome
Van den Berg, Christopher S. (Amherst College, Massachusetts)
Uses Tacitus' Dialogus to re-evaluate the role of eloquentia ('skilled speech') among imperial Rome's educated class. The rhetorical arts of antiquity illuminate our own ideas of public discourse and their consequent habits of speech. What is the point of rhetoric in an autocratic system? Does freedom necessarily improve public speech?
