{"product_id":"the-second-sophistic-graham-anderson-9780415099882","title":"The Second Sophistic: A Cultural Phenomenon in the Roman Empire","description":"Sophism was the single most important movement in second century literature: prose of that period came to be written as entertainment rather than confined to historical subjects. Graham Anderson shows how the Greek sophists' skills in public speaking enabled them to perform effectively across a variety of activities. As he presents the sophists' roles as civic celebrities side-by-side with their roles as transmitters of Hellenic culture and literary artists, a co-ordinated view of the Second Sophistic as a complex phenomenon emerges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415099889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415099882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"Graham Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086560538879,"sku":"9780415099882","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_058143c9-2306-4438-9c34-10b682d86f30.jpg?v=1769095383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-second-sophistic-graham-anderson-9780415099882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
