Reviews

Were it up to me, John Dugan's Making a New Man would assume a central place in today's criticism of Roman rhetorical theory...[his approach is] an especially productive and provocative way of reading both rhetoric and rhetorical theory...[it is] a fertile synthesis of texts, themes, and modes of reading. Erik Gunderson, Ohio State University Provocative and original Anthony Corbeill, The Classical Review This is a rich and suggestive work equipped with the full range of bibliography and an index of passages cited, of its nature profitable to historians as well as to students of literature. Barbara Levick, Greece and Rome ...an ambitious and satisfying investigation...Dugan's study does what it says it will do, and more, and in the end has breathed new life into both the rhetorica and the Cicero presented within them. Sarah Culpepper Stroup, Classical Journal
