His assessment of both past and contemporary orators exposes the intensity of the rivalry which underlies much of Cicero's rhetorical writing, and adds impetus to how he measures up to his own criteria. Usher sets each speech in its historical and forensic context and examines to what extent Cicero employs his own definitions of great oratory. |
