Quintilian expanded Cicero' concepts of oratorical gesture from the decidedly robotic three to the much more natural 20, thereby allowing in emotion. Ovid expanded on self-analysis and disclosure while number of orators and rhetoricians proved themselves to be adept at wit. The influence of Roman rhetoric continued unabated until the Renaissance and continues to be a lively source of study today. The 32 comprehensive essays here prove this point as they examine the roots of Roman rhetoric within its own and the Greek tradition, including its expression in oratory, the social context of representations of the Republic and early empire, the systematization of rhetoric into handbooks and models of style, memory and humor, and the panoply of Roman rhetoricians, grammarians, and teachers. The final section is devoted to the impact of Roman rhetoric on Roman literature, exploring such authors as Virgil, Lucan, Horace, Ovid, Persius, Juvenal and Seneca.
