A Commentary on Isocrates' Antidosis by Yun Lee Too, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

How does one construct a role for oneself in the fourth-century democratic city? This commentary on Isocrates' Antidosis , which includes a full translation as well as an extensive introduction, demonstrates that a rhetorician may do so by assuming roles that subvert many of the conventionsinvoked by the genre - a non-speaker in a rhetorical community, a rhetorician in a world where rhetorical performativity has derogatory connotations, a philosopher following the trial of Socrates. Moreover, Yun Lee Too demonstrates how the narrative of 'self' in the Antidosis is to be understood asa sophisticated amalgam of literary, rhetorical, philosophical, and legal discourses. | A Commentary on Isocrates' Antidosis by Yun Lee Too, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
