Marcus Tullius Cicero - Brutus
"Brutus" gives an account of the Roman tradition of public and lawcourt speeches from its beginning to what Cicero described as the polished and entertaining speeches of his own day. Also notable here is an autobiographical sketch. Along the way Cicero has interesting things to say about the influence of the speaker's audience on his style and technique.
Here he details the principles of eloquent oratory and quotes instructive examples. Cicero's own very wide practical experience informs "Orator," which depicts the ideal speaker. Both works date from 46 BCE and are dedicated to the author's promising young friend, Brutus, later famous in the conspiracy against Caesar.
