| Description: |
"Translation of Demosthenes' oration "On the Crown," with rhetorical analyses based on four principles laid out by Aristotle in his "Rhetoric": ethos, pathos, logos, and lexis"-- |
| Synopsis: |
Demosthenes' speech On the Crown (330 B.C.E.), in which the master orator spectacularly defended his public career, has long been recognized as a masterpiece. The speech has been in continuous circulation from Demosthenes' lifetime to the present day, and multiple generations have acclaimed it as the greatest speech ever written. In addition to a clear and accessible translation, Demosthenes' "On the Crown": Rhetorical Perspectives includes eight essays that provide a thorough analysis-based on Aristotelian principles-of Demosthenes' superb rhetoric. By bringing together contextual material about Demosthenes and his speech with a translation and astute rhetorical analyses, Demosthenes' "On the Crown": Rhetorical Perspectives highlights the oratorical artistry of Demosthenes and provides scholars and students with fresh insights into a landmark speech. |
