Böcker av Susan C. Jarratt

In "re-reading" the sophists of fifth-century Greece, Susan C. Jarratt reinterprets classical rhetoric, with implications for current theory and composition.

Barred from political engagement and legal advocacy, the second sophists composed epideictic works for audiences across the Mediterranean world during the early centuries of the Common Era. In this study, Susan Jarratt argues that these discourses constitute intricate negotiations with the absolute power of the Roman Empire.
