About This Book

The Roman statesman, orator, and author Marcus Tullius Cicero is the embodiment of a classic, though only in part due to his subsequent reception. This volume demonstrates how Cicero's strategic adaptation of classic Greek texts allowed him to envision and create texts with classical authority for a parallel Roman canon.
