{"product_id":"menander-malcolm-heath-9780199259205","title":"Menander: A Rhetor in Context","description":"Ancient schools of rhetoric taught students how to devise arguments in legal and political disputes, and how to express them. Many scholars believe that these techniques increasingly lost their practical relevance under the Roman Empire. This detailed reassessment of the history and social significance of rhetoric in late antiquity shows how it was taught, and why the skills it promoted were still believed to have a direct application in the subsequent careers of the rhetoricians' pupils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Heath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199259208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199259205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.68w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2005 pg. 1398","brand":"Malcolm Heath","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119436198143,"sku":"9780199259205","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdd2d441-1656-4824-948c-95e16d835124.jpg?v=1687409337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/menander-malcolm-heath-9780199259205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
