Overview

The Rhetoricians of the Roman Era collection encapsulates the social attitudes and education of the Roman world. The Institutio Oratoria draws from Quintilian’s own rich experiences to provide a comprehensive training program in 12 books. It offers advice on schooling, the structure of speeches, recommends devices that will engage listeners and appeal to their emotions, all the while counseling on memory, delivery, and gestures. Marcus Cornelius Fronto’s The Correspondence offers an invaluable picture of aristocratic life and literary culture in the second century. The letters reveal his strong stylistic views and dislike of Stoicism as well as his family joys and sorrows. They portray the successes and trials of this prominent figure in the palace, literary salons, the Senate, and law courts, and they give a fascinating record of the relationship between the foremost teacher of his time and his illustrious student Marcus Aurelius, his chief correspondent. The Correspondence of Marcus Cornelius Fronto, vol. 2 contains the English Translation of The Correspondence.
