Böcker av Edward Schiappa

All of Jebb's Isocrates text & notes from the Attic Orators accompanied by the annotated Isocrates Greek text from his Selections; all newly introduced, annotated and formatted. The most complete appreciation of Isocrates ever published in English.

This text argues that rhetorical theory did not originate with the Sophists in the 5th century BC, but came into being a century later. It examines the terminology of the Sophists and of their reporters and opponents, and contends that rhetorical theory had not yet formed.
