This study examines the power and possibilities of public speaking, ranging from the oratory of the Athenian law courts to the political oratory of New Labour. A distinctive feature of the book is its conception of the orator as a performer and practitioner and of oratory as a form of action.

Oratory has an inherent cross-disciplinary appeal and this book should be of interest to undergraduate and more advanced readers in a number of subject areas, such as classical studies, literature, history, law and performance studies. The editors have contributed an introduction and linking prefaces in order to open up the material to those new to the field.

Michael Edwards is Reader in Classics at Queen Mary, University of London. Christopher Reid is Senior Lecturer in English at Queen Mary, University of London.
