It is a work of enduring importance, not only for its  insights on oratory, but for the picture it paints of education and  social attitudes in the Roman world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Quintilian offers both general and specific advice. He gives guidelines  for proper schooling (beginning with the young boy); analyzes the  structure of speeches; recommends devices that will engage listeners and  appeal to their emotions; reviews a wide range of Greek and Latin  authors of use to the orator; and counsels on memory, delivery, and  gestures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Donald Russell’s five-volume Loeb Classical Library edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Orator’s Education\u003c\/i\u003e,  which replaces an eighty-year-old translation by H. E. Butler, provides  a text and facing translation that are fully up to date in light of  current scholarship and well tuned to today’s manner of expression.  Russell also provides unusually rich explanatory notes, which enable  full appreciation of this central work in the history of rhetoric.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231989584216,"sku":"9780674995956","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780674995956_c2dcd278-a9d1-4942-b76b-f28951fb3352.jpg?v=1779421548","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/orator-s-education-volume-v-books-11-12","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
