Van den Berg, Christopher Sean, author. The politics and poetics of Cicero's Brutus : the invention of literary history / Christopher S. van den Berg. 1st ed. Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2023. 1 online resource (xiii, 290 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Specialized. Also issued in print: 2023. Includes bibliographical references and index. Cicero's Brutus (46 BCE), a tour-de-force of intellectual and political history, was written amidst political crisis: Caesar's defeat of the republican resistance at the battle of Thapsus. This magisterial example of the dialogue genre capaciously documents the intellectual vibrancy of the Roman Republic and its Greco-Roman traditions. This book is the first study of the work from several distinct yet interrelated perspectives: Cicero's account of oratorical history, the confrontation with Caesar, and the exploration of what it means to write a history of an artistic practice. Close readings of this dialogue-including its apparent contradictions and tendentious fabrications-reveal a crucial and crucially productive moment in Greco-Roman thought. Cicero, this book argues, created the first nuanced, sophisticated, and ultimately 'modern' literary history, crafting both a compelling justification of Rome's oratorical traditions and also laying a foundation for literary historiography that abides to this day. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed on July 24, 2023). Open access. Unrestricted online access star Cicero, Marcus Tullius. Brutus. 1-009-28135-6 |
