First published in 1965, Cicero contains a number of assessments of Cicero’s life and works, made by a group of scholars that includes some of the acknowledged experts in their particular field. Cicero is a man on whom most judgments have been harsh. His political ideals, though sincerely held, were bypassed by the march of events; his public life was a series of frustrations; his personality was egotistical. However, as a speaker and a thinker, as a master of the use of language, and as a man of cultured interests and human disposition he deserves sympathetic study. The chapters in this volume deal with his political career, his character, his oratory, philosophy and poems, and his influence on subsequent literature and scholarship. This book will be of interest to students of literature, history and philosophy.
