{"product_id":"isokrates-david-whitehead-9781108303729","title":"Isokrates: The Forensic Speeches (Nos. 16-21) 2 Hardback Volume Set: Introduction, Text, Translation and Commentary","description":"The Athenian Isokrates (436-338 BC) is well-known for his long career as an educator and pundit; but originally he wrote 'forensic' speeches, i.e. for delivery in court. Six of them survive (five from Athens, one from Aigina), on issues including assault, fraud and inheritance. Here for the first time, after a General Introduction, they are presented and analysed in depth as a self-contained group. The Greek text and a facing English translation - both new - are augmented by commentaries which juxtapose this material with other surviving writers in the genre (and with Isocrates' own later output). In the process, too, the speeches' historical background, personnel, legal context, rhetorical strategies and all other relevant topics are explored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Whitehead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108303722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108303729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Other\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 5.70w x 2.80d\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot available to be shipped via Media Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Whitehead","offers":[{"title":"Other","offer_id":45476539039999,"sku":"9781108303729","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3073a92-19fe-4f25-9da3-6da56e51cdfa.jpg?v=1715908199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/isokrates-david-whitehead-9781108303729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
